Yea, my dad and I have shot it many times back in the 70's, he built it for coyote hunting. He had a portable record player that used a bunch of C cell batteries for power and had a 33rpm record with wounded rabbit on one side and wounded deer fawn on the other. Try listening to that for an hour or so. We would play to draw in coyotes. Real pain to listen to but really worked. My uncle had a ranch out of Baker Or and had a terrible coyote problem so appreciated it when we reduced their numbers. My dad is in his 90s now and in assisted living facility in Vale Or and we don't have any idea where the die is or any old brass. It probably hasn't been shot for 35 years. So think the casting idea is the only way to move forward but to be honest might just put on wall. One thing for sure its the safest firearm I own since there are no bullets on earth for it.Have to ask the dumb question. It's a wildcat, and it's been fired in the past---do
you have any of that fired brass? Saving it to be reloaded again would make sense.
Not as good as a cerrosafe cast---but it should give you an idea WHICH 17-222 you
are dealing with.
