Agree, looks like a 43 Mauser to me. Do you have any measurements on it?
 
What's the case length ? I agree with the others. It's either a .43 Mauser or a .400 Purdey.
 
Looks like a .450 #2 Musket
 
11.2x60R
Better known as 43 Mauser or 11mm Mauser.
 
Believe your right I thought the 43 Spanish had a real real lon neck.bullet dia is .440 thrim is .870 and case length ii 2.250
 
Let us know, I’m interested.
I think Remington made their rolling block for a .43 ctg?
 
The cartridge its self looks alot like the .500/.450 no1 express BPE cartridges i have other than the primer

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
