Copied over from the stalking directory website in the uk about the trick with getting the 425 to feed:-

"I worked for WR ( 12 years ), the .425 is a good round. I only built two rifles in this calibre. For the cartridge to feed effectively in the mauser 98 action, two spring loaded side clips are used to stop the cartridges being pushed out of the mag box by the follower etc. When the bolt is pushed forwards, the clips are pushed outwards allowing the bolt face to feed the round off the follower and into the chamber. It took a lot of time to alter the receiver walls and do the feedwork for this calibre than any other I have ever built. That aside, recoil was moderate. Modern rifle stocks are designed with higher cheek pieces and combs. The old rifles that came into the factory that I fired always kicked like mules because of their old stock measurements. Many of the old rifles had very long barrels - 24/26'', and the muzzle flash was always impressive in low light conditions."

Also check out www.fieldsportsmagazine.com for an article by Derek Stimpson on his 425, reloading and hunting with it titled " A Classic Revisited".

Two more articles from other publications feature on a current thread on the 425 at the stalking directory forum
