[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1994999, member: 93138"] All of this talk about rimmed problems in a bolt action have me wondering how well the .30-40 Krag, .303 Brit, and the 7.62X54R worked. Being rifles for infantry makes me think that they were at least somewhat reliable? Can't recall MISF ever having any feeding issues with his Mosin-Nagant, but since it kicks the dog-carp out of him he doesn't shoot it all that often. I will guess that there are some lessons to be learned by studying these actions to see how they were made to work with rimmed cases. Since the .444 uses bullets of Ø.429" that gives it a likely BC advantage over the same bullet mass in a Ø.458" May not mean much to trajectory in the range under discussion, but it should yield better energy retention.
