Just want to check and see if someone else has already done this cartridge.  Basically it is stretching a 444M chamber from 2.225" to about 2.9" and FFing 9.3x74R brass.     
thanks

I'm hunting where you do.
How big are the squirrels where you live?  Is that picture with the GI Joes  and a squirrel, actually you and a friend?

I saw the round at the Ohio GB shoot and it should make a real squirrel gun. The bullet is just about the same size as the squirrels head so it should make an excellant head shooting gun. ;)
