The old wildcat made from trimming a .401 WSL to cylinder length in an old Colt .32-20 or .38 Spec. cylinder, then using a .38-40 barrel. That would have been a keen rig back in the day filled with No.80.

The old 1920's and 30's brass I have do NOT appear to be of the balloon head type. Perhaps because they were considered "rifle" brass? The older Win. brass have a unique grunge in the bottom however.

The bullet design is really sharp looking to me.
