Here are three photos of Dan's highwall. A 7.5mm Pope is certainly interesting. I've never heard or read of one like it.

Antonio, is there a particular reason why you want a rimless cartridge? Perhaps you have the reloading gear for it from another rifle.

Brent et al.

I very much like the 257 Roberts. It is also the challenge of doing the project. I have made 2 falling block rifles in 30/40 Krag and it is a wonderful cartridge, but I want to try something different without going to a Number One or the more expensive Hagn or Dakota. Besides, I like the look of a Highwall.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I think the explanation and diagrams in Frank de Haas book is feasible for me.

Antonio,
The 25/30-40 Krag is a good cartridge, either the standard or Ackley Improved version.

Well, you could not have chosen better for your project. The highwall is the finest rifle ever made, anywhere. And the handsomest by a country mile.

Just an observation based on 50+ years of experience : you can teach a bear to ride a bicycle, but you can't teach him to like it. A high wall can be made to work with rimless cases, but it's not worth the trouble. If you have to have a rimless case, get a Ruger.
