In my view it is not worth the trouble. Many of those wildcats used long barrels and higher pressures to obtain their results. Such cartridges may be fun to fool with, but offer little or no advantage over std cartridges.

I once chronographed a wildcat that was a 30-06 case with the shoulder moved forward. It was touted as equal to a .300 Wby.
The chrono showed standard 30-06 velocities out of the standard 24 inch barrel the guy had.

Unless I just wanted to play with the .280 AI, if I did not want a .280 Rem I would go with the 7MM Rem Mag.

Regards,
Jerry
