Re: Wildcat cartridge for double rifles

Quote:
I too have some reservations about a 'wildcat' in any rifle, let alone a DR originally designed for low pressure cartridges. The 32-40, which started life as a BP cartridge, and which is a more traditional DR chambering is a safer choice than most, but one should always be careful about using any rifle where it hasn't been proofed for a particular load, and when in doubt, load down, not up. I now turn the soapbox, as oupa terms it, over to the next party. Dave
Why concernes for a wildcat? If its a wildcat no one would be able to load it with anything other than the cartridge it was intended for.
Would a cartridge that could shoot a 380 grain 9,3 or 9,5mm in 750m/s at low pressure (45000psi or so) work in a double? And is there any old cartridge with a rim that does it (and if so damn)?
