The "I want" for a wildcat and the final price after dies, etc., can become quite a bit more than a comparable "off the shelf" firearm. But I understand the "I want". About 5 years before the .204 Ruger came out I had to have a .20 caliber rifle. I had Dave Manson make me a reamer for a .20/223 Ackley Improved. I was going to use the 222 Magnum, but it was hard to find brass. So I went with the .223 because there was only 1 1/2 grains difference between that and andd the 222 Mag. It is a deadly accurate rifle I call the Death Ray. But I was going to set the barrel back and rechamber to the ..204 Ruger when I built one for my son. He asked me to leave my rifle as a wildcat.
At the time this one didn't have a commercial double. But I understand and have a .22 K-Hornet, a 25-06 Ackley Imp. and a .280 Ackley Imp. I "needed" them. I know if I ever want to dispose of them I have to find a reloader who "needs" them and sell them with the dies.
