    What do you think of the new Rigby Shikari?

    Soo.. .£40.000,- for a re-badged double rifle with an unknown action..? I think not...the John Rigby name is not worth it to me.. I would rather by a Heym 89B if in the market..but as of now I have more doubles that I need.. :)

    408 versus 411 450-400 bullet help please

    Old thread..but the original Kynoch drawings show bullet diameter 0.408.. But did Kynoch load bullets of that diameter in their pre-1967 ammo..? The new .450/400 3 1/4 from Kynamco is loaded with .408 bullets..perhaps discontinued now though..

When I see all the comments after Trumps conviction...it is beginning to look frightfully alike the way the german nazis fended off political critic.. Trump call it fake news, Goebbels called it Lügenpresse...

    Pre 1967 Kynoch .450/400 3 1/4 ammunition

    Do any of you know wich bullet diameter this Kynoch ammo had..? The reason for asking is that the early rifles chambered in this round varied somewhat.. .408 - .410 - .411 My Joseph Lang of 1906 vintage has .408 bores and I just found some pre 1967 ammo..all boxes are loaded with ballistite and...
