This is my first post on the forum and I am new so bare with me. Benchrest is fairly new to me but it and accurate shooting/varminting has been something that interests me. I am working on a wildcat cartridge that will use the 224 Donaldson Ace as its base. For those unfamiliar the .224 Don Ace was Harvey Donaldson's last wildcat he developed before he passed away in 1972. It is based on the .225 Winchester, shortened case and 30° shoulder. He had hoped it would gain some popularity as a bench rest and varmint cartridge but with his passing it did not get much publicity. Anyway, I am looking for any forming, necking, reloading dies, chamber reamers or other tooling related to this cartridge. RCBS sill sells them on special order, w/ a 4mo. delivery date, but I thought some of you that have been around for a few years might have something in your drawers that you might want to get rid of. Perhaps someone might even have a bench rest rifle chambered for it?
Thanks

P.S. If anyone is interested I do have a scanned copy of the Rifle Magazine test report from Nov./Dec. '72 on the .224 Don Ace. I have been unable to locate a copy of the Precision Shooter magazine from '71 that covers the .224 and 6mm version written by Harvey himself.
Thanks
