Hmmmm.....

Since the only current factory-loaded Subcalibres under Rocky's definition are the .17 HMR, 4mm Erma (in the OWS catalog!) and the .17 Remington...

And if you expand the category to include TMR's definition, that would add only the .22 Hornet, .25 Auto & .22 WCF as factory loads(I think Dangerous Dave the Old Western Scrounger is rolling up the latter!)

That's not too many rounds of this ilk that are not in the "wildcat" category (I include rolling up .22 Maynard Extra Longs and repro .297/.230 Morris as wildcats as one is 'catting obsolete ammo from available components)

Okay, everybody--How about "Subcalibres & Wildcats?"

(This would cover all the bases, IMHO!)
