Controlled round feed for Dangerous Game

Ah, but Bob, the ruger , whilst a fine cartridge, is boring, therefore one must strive to achieve greater things. I am always one to "encourage " people to build bigger and better things

True. But to save stuffing around lengthening actions and changing mag boxes just rebarrel an Enfield to 375 Ruger. Easier, cheaper and the same punch in a shorter action. Leave the guppy belly in it so you can stuff 5 rounds in the mag.

Still need to widen the mag box a bit other wise if an M17 or only get 3 rounds in. Use a P14 mag box and should get the 4 in but still need to widen the front section. The Ruger rounds are fairly much based on the 404 J, so 4 rounds in the mag not 5 with guppy belly and a different follower. I found all this out while building my 358RUM

Now that deserves some serious thought.

Why would you do that? Anything below .500 is a medium bore. I use my 500 Jeffery on elk. They don't get up.

Yep, a 416 Rigby does the job nicely.
