Oh boy! Here we go again.

The purists say never go for rimless extraction, particularly if hunting dangerous game. There is at least one prior discussion of this topic. Usually the discussion is coupled with the issue of high-pressure cartridges (another no-no!).

Here's one prior thread in which both issues are discussed:

.375 H&H in a double rifle.


Heretics like me have gotten along quite well with rimless extraction, much to the consternation of others.


In reply to:

What type of extractor or ejector is used for rimless cartridges in double rifles?




Some time ago I shot photos of the dreaded rimless extractors at the request of our good friend, 4seventy. I still have the photos on my server. Here are the URL's:

Seeing is believing. How's that for "Service with a Smile"?
