Large medium on a VZ 24?
      01/10/14 04:14 AM

Have a nice VZ 24 action ca. 1937 on the way in original configuration, and want to build an over .40 DGR on it. Nothing terribly fancy. Was originally thinking .416 Taylor, but at only 42 years old, it is kind of a "recent development." Also considered the .400 Whelen, but since I have three Springfields at hand it would be wrong -- to me -- to build a Whelen on anything but a 1903 action. So I dipped into Boddington and John Taylor and got to thinking a .425 Westley Richards might be more like it. I know this poses some challenges regarding brass, bullets and reamer, but I am more concerned about how the .425 fits and works in a 98 action. Does it tend to be fiddly and need a lot of rail and feeding work? Any other chambering out there that would be properly at home in a 98 and that dates from pre WWI?
Thanks for any and all guidance.
