    Gunsmithing .408 RUM project

    Re: .408 RUM project It doesn't look like I'm goin to get the speed out of any case that will cycle in an rum sized action. To bad there is not a surplus of rigby actions on this continent. I may just go with the .375 rum for now because at 2500 yds whatever difference there is in dope...
