Some screaming velocities on that. Just a warning, it'll over expand and blow the petals off within the first few inches on the target, the remaining slug will penetrate a long ways.

There's my results with Enforcer and those 180/5 gr bullets. 2509 fps average is a bit short of the 2900 fps predicted. There were no pressure signs though so I may try again, and creep higher. But I may wait til a hot summer day rather than the cold (although warm for winter) 40 degrees I shot these in. The Enforcer is extremely dirty though. I may try #9 or Power Pistol next.
Is your offer to run quickload still standing?

QuickLOAD has this wildcat on file. Always amazing me what they have...
On the capacity did you measure that with H20? It's close to what QuickLOAD has on record (73.00gr) since case capacity is a sensitive metric, I just wanted to check before I over ride the value.
You wouldn't happen to have the make and model of the bullet? I just get the warm and fuzzies if I can use a bullet on file rather then altering an existing.
Whats your barrel length?
I got the case capacity from the cartridge drawing, if they have it on file just use what they have, who am i to tell them anything? Hornady round nose interbond. 26” barrel
