Re: Designing your own cartridge. Worth it?

Sometimes people do things like re-chamber a rifle, or perhaps dream up and chamber a barrel using a combination of 'other' reamers. They then them make up the brass to fit this new round, sometimes with re-cut and/or altered dies, just because they can. It's fun for some people. That is how & why I ended up with a couple of my own.

Are there other ctgs. that will deliver the same ballistics? The answer to that is of course there is - quite simply, nothing new under the sun - but "just because" is often enough reason for some people - like me - bored with the status quo? maybe! Others disagree - oh well, good thing we're not all alike, eh!

I've only scratched together 4 - I currently only have one left - I sought neither fame nor fortune - to figure out 4 good rounds, make or adjust other dies to work, develop loads and shoot them, was/is enough fun.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
