Recently picked up a couple boxes of odd ball stuff and in the pile were two wildact cartridges. They are .32acp, necked down to .22 cal loaded with a Hornady V-Max, whats it called? Thanks

You sure that's not .25 caliber? There is the .25 NAA Guardian which is the .32 ACP necked down to .25.

Just double checked and they are .22 cal, so must be the "Flea" THANKS

................I have the magazine article about Richard and David Corbin and the 'Flea'. Of course at the time they dreamed it up there were no Hornady V MAx's so your's is of more recent reloading. The Corbin's rifle (original one) was a Remington RB of one of the smaller versions. Richard Corbin was the shop foreman for his brother so he created the dies and chambering reamer etc.

While it is certainly a fun looking little thing and even has some utility it is NOT a very flexible or forgiving cartridge. At least loaded to it's envisioned purpose, as you can get into trouble fast :-)
