300 H&H to 333 Flanged?
Hi all,

Would any knowledgeable persons out there be able to tell me if its possible to rechamber a Ruger No1 300H&H to .333 Flanged Nitro Express?

The Ruger could be rebarreled easily enough.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Yes I think thats what I'm going to have to do. Some reading around has shown the 300H&H is just a bit too long for a straight rechamber and rebore to .333 Flanged. Was hoping to keep costs down by using the existing barrel.

I want to see you push a .333 bullet down a .308 barrel.

Based on other forums he had planned on a rebore as well.


As usual just my $.02

Yep forgot to mention that in the initial posting, a rechamber without the rebore would bring a new meaning to single shot rifle Wink
