This is undoubtedly an amateur question, but where does one obtain starting load data for a wildcat cartridge? I know some wildcats are close enough to standards that you can use those as guidelines, but some are kind of off-the-wall.
For instance: I am currently interested in the .375-284 (don't ask
). In the proper rifle this cartridge is supposed to produce within a couple of hundred fps of the .375 H&H but without nearly as much recoil, using less powder and in the smaller .284 Win case. I've found barrels, reamers, etc. I've found dies (custom ones, anyway). But so far I haven't found a smell of reloading data. So how does one go about working up a safe starting load?
