Sherman wildcats
 
Anyone have any experience with these? Pros/cons?

I do, 338 Sherman short. Im Ruby76 on LRH. They flat out work, all of them. Rich has made it even easier now with fully formed SST, SS and Max brass made by ADG with proper headstamps. More choices for dies now too. Lots of load data and results out there now.

I was the first to get the 6.5 SS this side of the border. I've shot out one barrel already. I've experimented with a variety of bullets and powder. I hunted with it in New Zealand. And taken many many deer with it. It's such an efficient cartridge. Easy to reload for and the accuracy is unreal.

What gun smith had the reamer for the 6.5?

DLab 11-17-2020 09:08 AM

Any issues with shipping their brass or dies to Canada when ordered directly from the website?

You won’t be able to get brass shipped out of the US. Dies are no problem.

That issue, figured the dies wouldn't be a problem though.

If the 270 is the parent case - can you not form some from them? Or is the issue wanting cases with the proper head stamp?

The Sherman line based off the .270 case isn't a problem ,got lots of that brass on hand, it's the SS line of cartridges, the 6.5 SS,7 SS with the proper head stamp. All of these can be formed from the parent case, just thought formed proper head stamped cases might be nice.
Either way ,that 7 SS looks interesting.

I believe that one of the gunsmiths just west of lloydminster deals with the sherman line up. Lots of products up on this side of the border. Tons of reviews out there for accuracy and barrel life. In my 6.5SS running the 156EOL, and they fit in the standard accurate magazine with the boattail lined up with the neck/shoulder junction. Not much if any wasted case capacity.

Check with Prophet river for importing Sherman short brass. There’s someone else apparently that can get it too, I’ll try and find out who.

I had the reamer shipped from Rich Sherman
Think he charged 40 reamer rental.
I chambered mine and sent it back.

Anyone have a good contact for bringing their brass up? I’m doing a model 70 in 7ss here shortly. Trying to track down some gear!
