Re: Designing your own cartridge. Worth it?

G'Day Fella's,

Ash, good to hear but now that you have "Wet Our Appetite", how bout some more info?

Further to new things, I'm surprised nobody has come up with a 0.290" ish calibre!
The reason I say this is, every 0.010"-0.020" or so (from .204" to .375" - eg .204", .224, .243, .257, .264, .277, .284, .308, .323, .338, .358, .366, .375"), we have another rifle bore Dia but there is nothing in the .290" ish bore?
You regularly hear the proponents of the 7mm calibre (0.284") bad mouthing the poor old .30 cal (.308")! They usually mention how much better/higher the ballistic coefficient of the 7mm bullets are and how much flatter the 7mm shoots, especially at long range!
But still......... no mention of a .29 Cal from anybody???
I might be barking up the wrong tree, or just have to much time on my hand or maybe dreamin but it might make a good 7mm-.30Cal go between! You know, the best of both worlds???

Doh!
