I have been bored as **** lately and cant make my mind up if I want a handgun or a new rifle, so was thinking about playing with a .223 wildcat.
When people wildcat the .223 Remington, they always have to chop it down first, then do their expanding.
What im confused on, is that if the .357 AR requires the entire case to be blown out to take a .357 bullet, then why not simply blow out the neck/shoulder to where it hits the body and have a .358 diameter neck on the 223 case body?
extraction would be great, forming would be great.. Even have a tad bit of class from having it look like some cartridges used in the late 1800s for bolt action military rifles.
