The 404 and 416 Rigby are pretty darned cool cartridges.

That 280 might be pretty sweet. Even with a 24” barrel it would still be quite handy I’d think.

Boy you aren’t kidding. I got lucky about 6 months back. Grafs got a bunch and I got 16lbs of it. It hurt but man it works well for me.

I think it’d be a tie for 1st between the 7x57 and 6.5 Swede. I have a 9.3x62 and a 9.3x57 as well. I really like the 7x57 though. One of these days I’m going to make a Kimber Montana up in 7x57. I have the Featherweight Supergrade they made a few years back and my son has a Featherweight...

Good luck. Looking forward to seeing how you make out.

Model 71 carbine in 348 Winchester! If you count the lever on my Sharps, the 50 2 1/2" is next favorite..;)

Welcome aboard, can't give you any better advice than the others have! I would hunt about anything with a 280 and 160 grain bullet that shot well. Just a great do it all sorta set up, if you don't have a 270 Winchester handy:cool:

You were an animal with them monsters back then.. Lil jealous!

Either bullet will result in a bull/cow goes hoof's up... Used them both on a few elk and they're excellent elk bullets.

Well... For 20 bucks.. I guess you can't go too wrong..

I learned from the pro's... :cool:

You'd probably hate them, maybe send them my way.. I'll get rid of them for you!:cool:

Same approach here. Let the rifle decide.

Agreed. I did the same thing and rebored a Hawkeye into a 9.3x62.. excellent rifle.

I was going to say that! Awesome build.

I was thinking the same thing ;)

You did great. Nice rifle in all aspects.

I don’t know if the 9 will spin them Joe. Worth a shot but they are marginal on the Berger calc. I’d use 150 data and work up as you would normally with 26 or H4831 or whatever good 270 powder you have. Those 155’s are long devils. You need me to send you some Hammers for that 9 ;)

Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you and your experience here! Been a good place to chat throughout the years and being as your a 270 guy, it’s a good thing. Lotsa riff raff 30-06 guys who need keeping a solid eye on😀

Mines the 7 Mashburn Super. Read about it as a kid, had no clue what it really was till I was schooled by a few hunters 10-12 years ago I guess. Had my first one made on a rechambered M70. Later I had one built on a P64 Magnum action. Since then it’s accounted for a lot of stuff and has been my...
