rebarreling

Been thinking of rebarreling a Ruger No.1 to 338 Lapua or 30 Rensi. Can I use any No.1 action without having to modify the block and block movement or should I find one in 416 Rigby as a donor?

Gabwood, the 338 Lapua is known as a super accurate long range cartridge. More than likely, without a lot of tinkering on forend and trigger, the #1 is not. At least, that's the way I hear it. My 200 year 7 Mag required some forend work and some luck to get reasonable hunting accuracy with the best loads I eventually was able to develop. I wish you the best.

Ruger used various barrel makers early on, but finally started making their own with much better accuracy. I believe they are hammer forging them. A call to Ruger should get a better than I believe answer.

At  $ 4-10 bucks A pop to shoot....you have more $$$ than me !  I like that a 32-20 can be shot three times for the price of one 6PPC load.

Yeah, even Mother AI is stumped. The closest Google AI can come is a Remington cartridge, .30 Remington AR, designed to fit the AR-15 platform. Quite a difference from the big fat nasty .338 Lapua.

One interesting thing that I found in a search is that in Chinese rensi means "a person's death", what a cute name for a cartridge. It seems that each week we are blessed with a new designer cartridge that doesn't do anything more than a dozen others but that turns the wheels of commerce. My entry into the field was a rimmed 50 BMG necked up to 70 caliber but SAMMI wouldn't let me call it a 50/70 so I dropped it.
