Starving 400/360 Thin Rim (Rigby) Double Rifle

[Rick Hill]

Hello,

Anyone out there with brass or forming dies for 400/360 Rigby? I have some Bertram brass and will anneal it as their cases are brittle and will probably order case forming dies and form brass from 9.3x74R. If sure would be nice if some one out there had a pile or brass or dies they were not using??? Sometimes you never know unless you ask?

Boy that one has to be a rare bird. When I googled it I found Purdy, WR and another but no Rigby. Good luck with the search!

Looks like I misspoke it is the Evans thin rim. So at least 5 types; Evans and Fraser are the thin rim and Purdey and Westley Richards are the thick Rim. The Germans made a 9x70R as well. Some times a lot of hassle is still worth the pleasure of shooting these old rifles.
I included the references in case anyone is interested.
