hi '50

Thankyou,that helps a lot.

Besides i do not fancy trying to find cases for 577x 31/4!!! 577x3" is very simple, thanks be to god and H&H for the .577 nitro.........

The thing being that i am weighing up bore rifles etc against the .577......the latter being easy to get cases for,and easy to find in a double rifle, while the former, unless in 12 bore,is a little more tricky......

The .577 is the minimum i think for big big game,of the BP rifles. After this round we go into bore rifles.....the 577 being practically a 20 bore anyway.

Thanks

Ben
