Taming Wildcats

(Designing Cartridges)

NRA Gunsmithing School, Murray State College

Next Class: June 29th to July 3rd, 2009

Instructor: 

Fred Zeglin, Owner of Z-Hat Custom

Fred has designed a line of successful wildcats,  "Hawk Cartridges."   Along with many cartridges for clients.  He is also the author of Wildcat Cartridges, "The Reloaders Guide to Wildcat Cartridge Design."

Fred designed his own reloading dies to speed delivery of wildcat projects to the client and provide greater accuracy.  He  uses a combination of tried and true technology with modern materials and principals to produce the best possible dies and rifles for his clients.   He has designed and produced several new specialty tools for wildcatting and accurate reloading of ammunition, as well as reviving some old designs that perform useful functions.  New materials have been developed just for this class as well.

Prerequisite: 

Working knowledge of machine shop, mainly lathe operation.
