wombat416 Rigby 22 cartridge converter
I know special converters to fire small game cartridges are popular in Europe-can one be had for small game out of a 416 Rigby?

GadgeDoesn't look like it, though they are available for .375H&H and .458 Win Mag!
See this
Lothar Walther catalogue page.
Begs the question though, why would you want one?

lawndartWhy would you want one?
This winter at the indoor range I could be plinking out small groups with a .375 H&H fitted with the insert. I ask another shooter if they would like to try it. I then surreptitiously change out the insert for a full sized cartridge. Hee, hee, hee.

ceweThese were at one time quite popular, mostly beacause it allows you cheap practise with your main hunting rifle.
Personally I would like to know how the insert may effect the barrel, rifling etc.

DigitalDanI'd be more inclined to load roundballs with a bit of Uninque and some Charmin.
