Also, there was some amount of hand loading going on in the early 20th C.
Certainly not to the extent that it was done in the BPE era but Kynoch did provide cases, primed and unprimed, as well as projectiles as did Westley Richards with their proprietary LT capped bullets.

I wonder how many back then were actually handloading the RIMLESS 400-360 WR?

I'd say none.

How many have ever handled a rifle chambered for the rimless 400-360 WR?

How many have ever handled an original rimless 400-360 WR cartridge?

I have a Westley Richards 400/360NE Double Rifle for the Rimmed case & 314gr bullet, I was hoping it was the 360No2 & I could use 9.3 bullets but I think they are too large as the Kynoch rounds I have are .359.5-.360 & .35Cal .358 are too small & tumble if I use them, really if is was a 360No2 in this rifle it would have too much recoil, has a bit in the Westley Richards !

Sounds like great rifle! any pictures? is it a drop lock?

Cheers

Steve

Sorry Steve on my slow reply, not a drop lock (wishing) I'm afraid, I have some pics on my computer some where ill see if I have time to post them, it is a beautiful little thing & will have to hold me till I get a big stopper !

Oh I might have posted them already, I will look for a link maybe ?

Yep did & no pic now under WR 400/360 but I don't know how to ink it .

I've seen 1 in all my years at the glastonbury,conn. gun show about 30 years ago it had a slanted drop box that was added on like whats done with the 425.,,the gun was completely restored by duane weibe ,,i guess its more rare than the rigby in 303....paul
