.378 scaled up .300 H&H?
As we scaled the .300 H&H down to .264 on the .240 Wea'by case, how about using the .378 Wea'by, seizing it - making it look like a .300H&H?

Why?
I did not think we asked Q's like that....?

"Un-improving" the case eh? Interesting.....would you go with a 3.6" or a longer action? I'm thinking it would be closer to upper 300wby loads but with much less pressure.


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

To me at least, wildcatting should have some goal in mind...doing it just because we can seems too contrived from a 'purest's' standpoint. What would be the goal with this odd cartridge?

I like the idea of a scaled up 350 Rigby Big Grin
It is called the 416 Rigby rotflmo

The "Advantages" I see are classic styling and if smithed right the same slick feeding of the 300 HH

Right Bent?

Boomie- I don't know about Bent, but the major advantage I see is that the "Rawtha rude young chap at the club who is always making snide comments about my Springfield sporter being old hat" doesn't have one.
