I can't scrunch up like that.

A few years back we went from shotgun/muzzle loader/handgun only during firearms season to them allowing 'pistol' calibers. Instead of listing cartridges of foot pounds of energy, they go with minimum bore size and min/max case length. They lengthened the max to 1.80" last year to allow the .460 S&W. I took some 1.92" .35 Remington cases and trimmed them back. I used the same load as normal and loaded to the same OAL and then worked just fine in my old Model 8 carbine! Some guys are loading up a .35 cal wildcat based on the WSSM cases and are getting .358 Winchester ballistics.
