Mike McGuire375 Wby but an expensive option
300 Wby and 300 H&H.

Duckhunter39208303 Brit to 35 Remington rimmed. Works with the single shot rifles but you have to cut a rim recess. The 30-30 AI is another one that I like.

Mike McGuireI think the thread starter, blackeyeddueler, is referring to production rifle you can buy thay would be chambered in an Improved version of a cartridge.
So I don't think 30/30 AI would count as I don't think there are any production rifles made in 30/30 AI.

Mike McGuireAnother one would be the 7 X 61 Sharpe & Hart in either 7mm Rem or 7mm Wby. However, the resulting case would like a 7 mm Rem with a neck about a 1/10th of an inch long.
I think the 375 Wby firing 375 H&H would be the best of all. It is an expensive option because the 375 Wby does not come in any of the lower priced Mark Vs.
These days 300 H&H fied in 300 Wby (as was originally done) might see a lot of split cases.
I think Nosler make a rifle (expensive) in 280 AI.
Another one you could probably do is get 219 Zipper, turn the rim down so it is .47" and fire in the 225 Winchester M70. Again, lots of split cases and of course 219 Zipper and 225 Winchester are not exactly common items.

AtkinsonLots of factory calibers can be fireformed, most all wildcats are factory cases so formed..
