300 H&H to 284 FL?

Gents:

Anyone know of a cartridge name given in the distant past to a 300 H&H necked down to .284 without being blown out?

Someone, somewhere had to do it.

That's 284 not 288....also asked this over at 24hr.

Thanks,
tom

I am probably wrong on this but I seem to remember running onto a few boxes of brass at a gun show once that were stamped 275 H&H. They appeared to be the 300 necked down to .284 without modification but it has been so many years ago I can't honestly say that the case was unaltered from the original 300 H&H.

"...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

There is a 275H&H belted magnum. However it is not simply the 300H&H necked down. It is 2.5" as well as other changes.

You could just neck the 300H&H case down to 7mm and fire it in a rifle chamber for the 7x300Wby.

But the 280 Dubiel used a .288 dia bullet.
The .276 Dubiel was .284 as they were developed.

However, it would have been abt great trick to make up a .280 Dubiel using .284s.

If I remember correctly the British version of the .275 H&H used .288 and the American version by Western was .284. There isn't a nickels worth of difference between the .276 Dubiel and the .275 H&H Western version
