Lots of rimmed cartridges have been fitted to bolt actions, the 788 Remingtons for example...44 Mag, 30-30, etc. I have built a 9.3x74R on a P14, originally for the rimmed 303 British. Finn has a 9.x74R in a slant box Rigby....I think its more a matter of preference than anything... Roger

Siamese actions are pretty much limited to 75mm / 3" overall length rimmed cartridges. If your interest is the 416/348 ( or 416 WSM ) check out Blueflyer's posts... Roger

Flipper...is the one on the right a .400 Whelen ? Roger

The 375 x 2 1/2" Flanged Nitro Express, to give it's full name, is not actually a 303 blown out to 375, it is actually a straight walled case about 1/4" longer than a 303 and about 30% more powerful. From what information I can find it was developed by Holland and Holland before their 375 H&H...

Here is part of an Email Chris sent to me during construction of the rifle... ....and some in the white pics... Roger

Now we're talkin'...I always wanted to do a 45LC in an Enfield.....Yes, the M1 Carbine mags work well as a single stack. These pics might help... Keep us updated.. Roger

Rx7....Reloader 7 ??

I truly believe Gordon to be one of the worlds best stockmakers, and its a shame his injuries are preventing him from doing something that he is so passionate about.

The little 6.5's, in either x52 or x54, are an underrated round. Once you get the bore size correct, in bullet weights from 129 and 140 up to 160 they are a versatile little cartridge, remember Bell shot Elephants with one !! The 6.5 is a larger case and has a greater powder capacity than a...

Is that one of Gordon's stocks ?

I have several 6.5x55's, all m96 in Husqvarnas and Carl Gustavs, nothing fancy but good, accurate working guns. The lack of gas shield can be partly alleviated by simply attaching a flat washer to the shroud ( pic below ) The rifle I use the most is a '96 Husky in 6.5x55 Improved, 21" barrel (...
