There's nothing wrong with experimentation at the load bench. Frankenloads (out of the ordinary) are fun to load and shoot. Things that are not available on the open market. But let's not try to make them something that they are not. They are not mainstream, they are not even widely accepted as any sort of standardized round, and to a non hand-loader, they are a fantasy.
Even good frankenloads are given the hairy eyeball and a hmmm by most people. You have to accept this and not be offended when people think you're nuts. There's a fine line between mad scientist and genius. I bet even Paco Kelly took some flak when he was just beginning to experiment with his loads and talked about it.
But you don't even handload, so from where is the source of your consternation? From those here that are trying to help you with the benefit of their experience? Not. Lighten up about it. You sound pretty interested in tinkering, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. You must walk before you can run though so I suggest getting yourself a modest handloading setup and start loading a bunch of standard type loads to get some experience under your belt. Later on, you can design us a better mousetrap.
