So I'm thinking about wildcatting some rounds, once I finish a 6 week gunsmithing course in Oklahoma, and it got me thinking about a couple rounds that i could make. 7.62x45 Czech brass necked out to 9.3mm and a .308 shortened to 45mm and necked out to 9.3mm. I was curious what y'all think their performance would be like. Do you think it would be a good short to medium range intermediate round? I was trying to think of something that would be similar to the 9x39. Also general reloading and wildcatting thread.

OP here, sorry for my terrible grammar.

As a vz-52 owner, I wonder why the choice of 7.62x45 brass. I would consider it hard to find and expensive... not the ideal parent round for a wildcat project. Happy to be educated if you know of an easy way to find it.
Unrelatedly, half of my surplus 7.62x45 rounds refuse to fire, due to age/QC I'd guess. Anyone else have that issue?

Yuo can make the x45 brass from .220 swift if you want to reload.

I have heard that, thanks for reminding me. Maybe one day I'll bother. I mostly do milsurp bolt calibers... 6.5 swede, 6.5 and 7.7 japanese, 7.5 swiss, 30-06 and 303.

>>30961386
in that case, necking out a .220 swift case might be ideal for what I want to test. I chose 7.62x45 because it seemed around the same capacity of a 7.62x39 but a little straighter walled and a little more capacity.

That's a bobcat

>>30960277
Or maybe I could do some kind of a shortened 9.3 Brenneke or 9.3 Mauser

How about 6mm x 54 (sort of a perverted 6mm '06)?

This is super villain tier calibre............... more please.

>>30961864
I love that reasoning though.
"If 1 neck is good..."

I really want to neck down some .30 carbine to 6.5mm and load a 110gr bullet. It's basically a .30 carbine with good penetration and ballistics

What's the end-over-end rifling system?

Subsonic double .30 in .223 case.

what the fuck is this?
>>
I've got an idea. Let's make 7.62x45 popular. It's got great potential, but no one currently produces it.

>>30963568
Explain the reasoning behind this please.

OP here, for my own personal use? For me to have fun developing a new round that I can be satisfied with?
>>
>>30963787
I second this. I'm suprised Prvi Partizan doesn't even make it.
