What would be the bullet rise when it leaves the muzzle on a round like that?

And for the record your mechanic or machinist or gunsmith is not the person to ask about the plausibility of developing a rifle cartridge and doesn't give credibility to the idea. How many rounds has your gunsmith developed? Hell, how many rounds has he shot in the past month. Probably 0, because he fixes guns all day every day. The gunsmith at Jim's put someone's gas tube on their AR in upside down making it a single shot. He'd probably think it was a great idea too.

The guy I talked to has developed several actually, and he is out of Montana. He builds custom rifles too and is well known on many long range shooting/hunting boards

His cartridges are ballisticslly insane and perform extremely well at long distances, not just for hunting but for pure accuracy at extended distances.

as a gunsmith, i find it insulting that you would even consider him a member of this great trade.
