rimmed cartridges....
so fellas, what, in your esteemed opinions would be a good caliber choice for a siamese mauser or M95 straight pull? they both fire 8xXX R 's, right? i thought i heard of a .444 on a siamese... but i could be wrong.

Most folks go with the 45-70 in a Siamese but I guess a 444 would work as well, just fewer bullets on the heavy side.

45/70 or 405 winnie, i would expect... 444 is just an overgrown pistol !!

Rebarrel the M-95 into anything baised on the 7.62x54R case, either factory of wildcat.
Just remember that the M-95 uses a "enbloc" clip, and that without the clip it's nothing but a single shot.

45-70, 30-40 Krag, 303 Brit, 7.62x54R.

I've seen Siams in all these calibers, 45-70 being the most common.
