Belted cartridge cases
Can anyone think of a belted cartridge case with a smaller base diameter than the H&H?

224 Weatherby Magnum

Edit: If this is for your subsonic round another couple to consider are the 220 Swift and 225 Winchester - sourcing brass for the later might be problematic.

Re: Belted cartridge cases
The .240 is larger than the .224 but still a fairly small case, but I doubt cases are plentiful.
Re: Belted cartridge cases
I had forgotten about the 224WM240WM however they are still a bit small for my needs, I am just trying to cover all bases for my winter project and a belted cartridge to suit a .308 bolt face (.470") might have been helpful

Re: Belted cartridge cases
Go for the 220 Swift - semi rimmed in a 308 bolt face.

Or a rebated rim...

Re: Belted cartridge cases
Hmm... given that I wanted to build a cartridge based on the readily available and cheap .308 Win with a pistol calibre bullet the move to more obscure and esoteric brass is probably not a good idea.
Back to the original concept I guess...

Re: Belted cartridge cases
Hadn't picked up that it was specifically pistol calibre bullets.

Re: Belted cartridge cases
Then 358 Win is your best bet or shortening the 375 Scoville to 308 Win lengths - any bigger than 375 is awkward.ovenpaa wrote:Hmm... given that I wanted to build a cartridge based on the readily available and cheap .308 Win with a pistol calibre bullet the move to more obscure and esoteric brass is probably not a good idea.
