Well I guess that confirmed my suspicions. I forgot to add the old 7x57 to the list, which of course was always going to be there. So it would seem we will only have to keep a handful of sharp chambering reamers on hand, 7x57, 270, 7mm Rem Mag, 30/06, 300 H&H, 375H&H and 404 Jeffery. That will make things easy....
Are there any other appropriate, relatively common, rimless cartridges that should be on the list?

Thanks

You might get an idea from seeing (If you can find out) what sort of calibres are being done in the Martini/Hagn.

Actually, come to think of it I think some of those have been done in things like 240 Wby but your gun has the real English feel.

I am just hoping it will be to expensive otherwise I am in deep shit

Your gun to me is real 300 H&H and 375 H&H.

An expensive gun like yours that has a real character about I reckon 95% of you chamberings will be in only 3 or 4 calibres. To take the opposite end in guns is Weatherby. If you have the cheque book Dean in the custom shop will empty it for you The real expensive wood stuff is virtually all 300 Wby and 460 Wby and a fair does of 257 Wby. The real expensive fibre glass stuff with Krieger cut rifling barrel, Krieger action work and Ed's personal invitation for a days sailing is dominated by the 30-378. Those 3 or Wby calibres would be the counterpart of 300 and 375 H&H in yours.

I would also probably list on the website calibres like 244 H&H, 275 H&H. Since you won't be delivering the rifle 5 minutes after the order it is not like you have to have all the reamers, loading dies and whatever on the shelf.

I believe your listing of calibres (along with other things I can't think of because I don't know enough about this area)are an idicator of what you are about.

As a side note I think your website looks great and conveys the message very well. I don't have it open now but when I looked at it my first thought was that the calibre listing should be changed.

The 270, 7mm Rem and 30/06 are good.

I think I remember reading in your website about the 300 Winchester being all things etc but I would probably have some highlighting of 300 H&H.

To my mind what you have is the most impressive thing I have seen that has come along.
