Re: Rodda Modele de Luxe 400/360 Nitro Express

Agree, very nice rifle!
It is nice to see these jungle themed rifles in the sea of scroll engraved guns. They really stand out.
Do you know which 400/360 it is chambered in? It is all in the rim thickness. Westley Richards used the thicker rim and Purdey & Fraser used the thin rim.
A while back, a friend had a Westley built gun and tried new W.R. retailed ammunition in it but had seemingly high pressure signs. Turns out that the W.R. shells labeled as 400/360 WR actually had the thin rim which failed to headspace properly in his rifle.
