Yesterday I received a call from an antique and rare book seller saying she had about 10 African hunting books and would I like a look at them before they went on the shelf.I was over there before she put the phone down.In the collection was a 1958 edition of John Taylors book African Big game and Big Game rifles.Thumbing through I found a quote about rimless cartridges in double rifles.I immediatley thought of this thread. He basically said he had't owned such a rifle but would not hesitate to use one.I cannot find that quote in the 1994 book African Rifles & cartridges.May be some one else might find it and quote the page number.I may have to go back and buy the book.

My own Westley Richards in 300 savage has never given any trouble either chambering and closing or opening and extraction of cases

good shooting
