Re: Falling block, rimmed or rimless?

Definitely better in a rimmed calibre, the rimless requires a sprung loaded extractor to grip the case, this is something else to go wrong, usually at the wrong time! As Huvius has suggested go for 7X65R if you must have rimless, but it is an added complication, and not very traditional.
Huvius has suggested the 7x65R because it is a rimmed cartridge, not rimless as you seem to be implying.
I shot a couple of Roe deer with a 7x65R when in Germany, seems a nice cartridge and is basically the rimmed version of the 7x64.
