Anyone know what casing this is? (Wildcat 308Win)

[GBMaryland]

Ok,

So I bought 600 pieces of once fired FC 308Win. Got it cheap... as it $20.00 per 150.

I run it through the uber Dillon tumbler I have and I see this sucker:

Anyone know what this is?

I *think* it's a 44 Automag casing...

If it is... man, I'd love to see the toy it came out of.

Thoughts?

The 44 Automag case is straight-sided.

Really? So the 308 case just tappers to a 44 caliber diameter.

Shucks.... I was hoping for something cool.

looks like a .357 Sig.... What does the headstamp say?...

Re: Anyone know what casing this is? (Wildcat 308Win)

Head stamp says "308 WIN FC," just like the 308 standing next to it.

That's why it's odd... -grin-

What does the inside of the neck mic. Also what is the case length. Looks a little larger than. 30 caliber. Might be 338 whisper/7mm BR. Hard to tell from pics.

A whisper maybe?!?

9x25 Dillon maybe?

I thought that the 9x23 was the 10mm necked down to 9mm (like a 357 Sig is a necked down 40SW) and the 9x25 was the 44 AutoMag necked down to 9mm. Perhaps it's a 40-44 AutoMag? A little difficult to see from that photo.

308x 1.5 Barnes is what I'm guessing.

I'll mic it once I get the babby out of my arms!

Looks like 2 cases got together and had a baby.

Baahahahaha...

Re: Anyone know what casing this is? (Wildcat 308Win)

The neck size is too large to be a 308x1.5

I got $5 on 440 Corbon.

Re: Anyone know what casing this is? (Wildcat 308Win)

Looked at the picture and I think you're right. I wonder if there is a 338-35 caliber on the 1.5" 308 case? Just looked it up and the 357 Automag is 1.298 inches long and based on the 308 or 30-06 cut down.

.44 automag is just a cut down .308 case but as said before its straight walled. I say not a .300 whisper as it is made from a .223.

I'd say the 440 Corbon is a good guess. Had some in my posession not too long ago.

+ 1 for .357 automag - until better pics or measurements get posted.

Dodgefan beat me to it. 440 Corbon is a necked down .50 AE, .308 rim is too small to make 440 corbon.

Re: Anyone know what casing this is? (Wildcat 308Win)

Outside (neck) of the spent casing is 10mm (.3295 inch)

The inside (neck) is 8.96mm (.348 inch)

The case length is 32.93mm (1.2965 inches)

357Automag

All Automag cases were based on cutdown .308Win brass. There were 44Automag, 41Automag and 357Automag.
