    Cartridges of the world is a great book However it may or may not have all WILD-CAT cartridges I think the internet is your best chance but I don't currently have their site handy.

    Post them here, and also at www.cartridgecollectors.org (or I can post them for you) and also on the wildcat forum over at www.accuratereloading.com .

    Diameter of the rim (easiest is the measure the recess in the bolt face)
    Diameter of the base (where the body of the casting meets the "puddle" that sat on the end of the barrel)
    Note if there is a belt recess (just in case)
    Diameter at the shoulder
    Distance from the base to the shoulder
    Distance from the base to the start of the neck
    Approximate shoulder angle
    Distance from the base to the end of the neck recess

    wbales,

    Personally, I think you should start by posting your dimensions here. There are a number of folks that have the reference books to help check the dimensions. I have nothing against those other sites, but we're pretty sharp here also. It certainly wouldn't hurt to post the information.

    Best.
