The SSK rounds are of reduced capacity and optimized for single shot pistols, but at least one full size .444 wildcat exists a .35/.444. This .35 should about equal a .358 Winchester, I would guess, and be very useful. Maybe others are out there too.

alyeska338,

"The Winchester 1895 in the '06 or 270 flavor can be rebored for the 35 Whelen or the Whelen Improved or Hawk."  

Kindly, refrain from making such good and tempting suggestions as I have little willpower and too many rifle projects now.

Actually to add something useful myself, the Howell cartridges should also work well in the '95 and American Hunting Rifles is making some good offers on conversions to help promote the cartridge line.

William's mention of the .303 British brought to mind an interesting and fun approach to a very useful levergun wildcat.

Key here is that both .303 rifles and ammo are available surplus at very low prices. You could buy a .303 surplus or from Gibbs and 500 or 1000 rounds of ammo very cheaply. You would have a very tough knock around gun in the .303, and good fun and practice in converting the ammo to cases.

The .303 rim is right between the .444 and .45/70 in diameter, and the case length is short enough thus it sould fit many of the Marlins and Wnchesters. With the body taper blown out and a steep shoulder a .375/.303 should be able to improve on .375 Winchester numbers for instance, but you could basically pick a bore diameter. RCBS lists a 22/303 Improved, 25/303, 6.5/303, if you want to go smallbore.

Could be FUN!
