sbs470,

In the later book, Taylor discusses his thought that the 425 WR would make a great pair of guns, one a double and one a bolt. Don't recall the page.

Bonanza,

Having been hunting in that dust, I can tell you that it is very fine. I can tell you that it hasn't been as big an issue with my belted rimless double than with my bolt rifle. Not real issues with either but the bolt actually requires more maintenance because more dust gets where it shouldn't be due to the design.

Either way each rifle needs to be cleaned daily, and daily cleaning with keep things working right.
