30 APACHE
This cartridge Is accredited to Gunsmith Joe Apache , this was considered The First Wildcat Made from The 223 Remington.
The 30 APACHE showed up in the late 1960’s/1970’s in the metallic silhouette circuit. Actual originator is unknown, but is possibly Joe Apache of Raton, New Mexico. In any event, he appears to be the one most prominently associated with it. Roy F. Dunlap built a rifle for it and published the results in Gun Digest. The cartridge is made by necking-up the .223 Remington case to 30-caliber. and forming a new shoulder. This is about as far as one can go in necking-up the .223 Remington and retaining anything resembling a shoulder. The 30 APACHE is about as unlikely a cartridge as anyone could come up with, but nevertheless, it appears to work quite well. It is loaded with either a 168-grain match bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2190 fps or the 190-grain Hornady match bullet at 2100 fps, for metallic silhouette shooting. A 150-grain bullet has also been loaded and develops 2250 fps. All of this according to Roy Dunlap. Although intended as a silhouette cartridge, the performance with the 190-grain bullet closely approximates the ballistics of the old .303 Savage, which was, in its day, considered a good deer and black bear cartridge for hunting in the bush or woods. A 150-grain bullet at 2250 fps just about duplicates the time-tried .30-30, all of which means that the 30 APACHE is not only a good silhouette cartridge, but must also be classed as a potential big game number for deer-size animals.
