Rimmed (only) Cartridges

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

My only two rimmed cartridges are a 30-30 and a 303-25. I like them both. I would like to add a 22 hornet.

@Wyatt Smith
Hopefully you are putting that 25 to good use my young friend

6.5x65 R - Blaser K95 Kipplauf rifle for a lightweight mountain rifle.

30 R Blaser - another barrel for the Blaser K95 for medium to large animals requiring more punch than a 6.5.

9.3x74 R - Blaser BB97 over/under (both barrels the same) for large game and DG where legal.

500/416NE - Krieghoff Big Five or Blaser S2 for the times when you really need something to stop exactly where it is.

@BeeMaa
All that and no mention of an R8.
Don't they chamber rimmed cases in the R8. If they don't shame on them

 

[BeeMaa]

You crack me up @Bob Nelson 35Whelen.

As far as I can see the only rimmed cartridges available in an R8 are 17HMR, 22lr, 22WMR and 22HORNET. Not quite good enough for most of what I hunt.

Trust me, 3 more Blaser rifles and a Krieghoff double would be quite enough to raise the eyebrow of the Department of Finance. Seeing as I don't live in Illinois to win the Mega Millions...no real danger of me getting them. Cheers mate.

EDIT - Forgot about the 10.3x60 R, but I'm not getting that one either.

Oh, but they do.

 

[spike.t]

Mmm...
Ones I like ...not used all..but either used or seen used
.22 hornet
7x65r
9.3x74r
30-30
375 flanged
45-70
470NE
500NE
What I would have are a matched set of doubles by rigby in
.22 hornet
7x65r
9.3x74r
450NE
470NE
500NE
And as they are also rimmed 20 bore barrels on the 9.3...and 12bore on the 450...470..and 500...think that would make me happy....

8x57 JR and JRS, 9.3x74R, 9.3x72R, and most of all--.22LR and .22WMR--bet you all forgot they are rimmed!

 

[steve white]

Not nostalgic choices but I would love to have single-shot rifles in 6x70R and 30R Blaser.

I wish 6x70R had caught on more

 

[Woodcarver]

Without including all the shotgun gauges, 22LR, 22WM, 30-30, 7x65R, 44-40, 45LC, 9.3x74R, 45-70 tend to get the most use out of the current rimmed, or rimless, calibers I have. Looking to add a 450NE or the 450 #2 to the group and expect it will see more use than the number of buffalo around here would indicate. Rimmed calibers probably see more use by me because of the guns that use them, levers, doubles, single actions, and single shots. Just something about those actions that appeals to me.

450/400

 

[Piet Brood]

My grandfather’s old 303 British. I never knew the man but his son passed the rifle on to me. It still shoots straight and with PMP factory 174gr soft points at moderate velocity meat damage is minimal.

 

[yumastepside]

...found myself a '92 in 38-40

[Woodcarver]

In order of number of rounds fired per year typically

Can't really pick a favorite either. Depends on the day, the mood, the quarry, the weather....
