I have a GREAT idea for a wildcat. Take a .35 Whelen case and neck it down to 30 caliber. There are a LOT of 0.308" bullets around. It should be able to shoot everything from 115gr to 220gr. 150gr or 180gr should do for just about everything except for maybe a few exotics in Africa. Now, what should I call it? 30-35 Whelen is an obvious choice. Or maybe 30-03 (30 for the 30 caliber and 03 for 2003).

A dear frend who is now deceased, owned a 257 Roberts. I really liked the way this this shot--not too loud or too much recoil, drilled tacks all day, easy to carry. I would like to have something like this someday now that they're upgrading ammo.
