EXTREME Small Calibers
While at a large outdoors
show, I stopped by Tom Thomas booth. For those of you who
arent familiar with him, he is the owner of The Outdoorsman
and handles a lot of small caliber rifles including Cooper,
Cascade, Kimber, and others. Dan Cooper happened to be there
that day representing Cooper Arms. I had lengthy conversations
with Dan and Tom about the small calibers. Toms wife handed
me two small plastic bags with the stuff that I had bought.
I didnt look at them very closely until leaving, but they
were promotional cartridges from Bill Eichelberger.
Bill Eichelberger is considered the industry expert for all
of the sub .17 calibers. He has manuals for the .14 (I have
this one) and for the .12. He has recently done some work
with the .10 calibers and the two cartridges that I got were
.10 caliber. Yes, thats right, I said .10 caliber. Why you
might ask, does anybody need a .10 caliber. Below is a picture
of the two cartridges with a .22 long rifle round in the middle
for comparison sake. These wildcats are based on the CCM case
and the .25ACP case and are called the Dart and the Pup. I
dont have any performance information on these, just the
cases.
I am very glad to have received these cases and look forward
to working with a .14 sometime soon. Think small.
