==Commercial Terminology== To the commercial world any cartridge not manufactured by a commercial ammunition company is a wildcat (reloading that commercial ammunition exempted). An example of the difference between the common thinker and corporate thinking is the [[6.5 Creedmoor]]. As of November 2010 this cartridge has not been adopted or otherwise standardized by SAAMI or CIP. Therefore there are no standardized drawings for gunsmiths and reamer makers. More importantly, as this is a rimless case, there is no established headspace. To corporate thinking and commercial terminology, because the 6.5 Creedmoor is commercial available from [[Hornady|Hornady Manufacturing]] it is not a wildcat. However, to the common thinker and in provincial terminology, because the 6.5 Creedmoor has not been standardized it is a wildcat. [[Category:Gun science]]
