[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 252660, member: 4491"] the reason i ask about the scope mounting is because of the wall thickness issue the RUM cases present. most are tapped on the top in the chamber area and represent the weak link. the other reason big cartridges aren't made for this is the break open actions just won't take the repeated pounding. i've heard of others trying this type of thing and after a few hundred or so rounds, the action has trouble closing, or a little gap starts forming and things just aren't quite working right. it's because the action just isn't made for big stuff. there's a good reason Thomson Center won't chamber it in certain sizes. can i ask what you're trying to do with this gun?
