If yes, what exactly is the "disadvantage" of a curved magazine? D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | ||

Seems to me magazines like the Win 1895 just needed the rims to be placed ahead of the rim below it to avoid feeding problems. The .30-40 Krag has a side box magazine but I seem to recall the cartridges were just dumped in the magazine.

303 British in all those Lee Enfields all those years was rimmed. The mag wasn't curved that I could see. But if you got the upper rims behind the lower, you would have fun. I would mention they were also used in the Bren, but the mag was curved way worse than a banana.  -- Promise me, when I die, don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told I her I paid for them. | |||

Mauser made slant magazine '98s for the 400/350 rimmed and 303s as well as the Siamese Mausers which had a rimmed cartridge and are very popular converted to 45/70. | |||

Correct, the rear of the magazine was not curved it was at a slant. The usual discipline of putting the rims in front of the one below was required. Photos are in this book. No they don't cost $900 if you look, more like $200. http://www.amazon.com/Mauser-O...user+sporting+rifles | |||
