Flanged .425 Westley Richards
Does anyone have a cartridge drawing of the, (.435" bullet diameter) .425 Flanged Westley Richards?
What's is grain weight for the bullet. is the brass the basic 450 NE necked? Thank you.

Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal...

I do not believe there is such a round.

Flemming shows a "semi rimmed" case, basically similar to what a converted 404 looks like. Hoyem mentions a 425 experimental rimmed version being reported but adds "no specimen was available for study". If you wanted to make one a 450 basic case would probably be the place to start, after you get a reamer.
