Larry: I believe you have a great wildcat! If Frank Barnes was still alive it might make it into his Wildcat category! Think it will make 5000 fps??? Think about this: The international space station travels over 18,000 fps !!!!!

Is there an Ackley version of it?
I think it best loaded with cordite sticks.
I built one of those years ago. Couldn't make it work. I developed a horrible flinch while trying to use it due to the fact that the bullet would strike the target before I pulled the trigger. Sat in the back of the safe for a long time until a time cop from the 29th century met me in the local gun store and bought it from me to take back with him. I heard him mumbling something about hunting borg on Jupiter (or maybe it was one of the moons).
It's going to be a looooonnnggg winter............
Just checked and only have LR cases. Could use a bushing of some sort i guess.
Somebody's always coming up with bigger and better. Bigger yes, better meh.
Actual cartridge from my early`70s Ackley books

(which I still have....)
I'm trying to recall the powder recipe for Jug Head's new cartridge. I believe it was a half-and-half mixture of firecracker powder blended with ground up kitchen match heads. He also noted that the blue match heads gave the cartridge more "zip" than the red match heads.
On an M4 I believe you may need to tweak the mag lips a bit.
It may require a compressed load.....
You can just solder a few SR primers together to fit the pocket. You may have to use a brad hammer on them to get it perfectly round.

I just happen to have this for my Savage action...
I don't have any dies for it, but I've never let that stop me before!
Safe bet that after the bullet leaves the barrel, hot gasses will continue to blow for 3 to 5 seconds.
OH Sh*t, you guys kill me.
Thanks Larry, I needed that! :)
I suspect it may burn the throat out after each shot.
