Adventures In Wildcatting

Thank you very much for the photos, history, and how-to do it. I really get into the unusual I guess, and start thinking...what if?? It keeps me occupied and usually broke also. I guess I never could be totally satisfied with the run of the mill things. I am not sure that I made some better or worse, but I usually liked the outcome.

Not all my attempts were successes...I'm still having feeding problems with my .223/30 Luger, .223/30 Mauser, and my .30/45ACP...

Jim was doing some .357/.45 sabot loads in his Grizzly; I don't recall if they worked out or not...I've tried to find the sabots that he used, they seem to have disappeared...He had a big bag of them; must have been a thousand...Slightly depleted...

The Grizzly .45 cartridge was a magnum; the grip and magazines were extended, front to back...Pachmayr made a special rubber grip for it, ugly as hell...Looked like two 1911 grips stuck on top of each other...

The Grizzly auto itself was ugly...
