1:8 twist 308 blank and a Rolling block ...what to do?

I'd vote for the BO if I knew what it takes to adapt a rolling block to rimless.

Buy two bags of Dan Wesson brass or 357 max and cut a recess for the rim in the barrel.
Use your 300 blk dies .
Put some 0-rings or split washers on some 223 cases if the need arises.

Easy way.
Pamper your brass and they will last.

"Newer" rolling blocks were chambered in 7mmx57 which is all ready rimless, ...it is a matter of tweaking the extractor to the smaller case size.

Nice and easy carry roller with a 22" barrel shooting cast from light to heavy and slow to fast. 30-40 Krag is plenty versatile in all ways. It was my choice in a Handi-rifle that came to me dressed up as a 30-30. I wanted a 30 cal for the variety of cast and I words in both weight and boolit profile. A cartridge that could shoot 110 to 220 grain boolits at all kinds of velocities, for all sizes of game. Rabbits to Elk and black bear. Here's my stalking carry gun. Now a Krag in a Handi-rifle sure did fit the bill just right.

I think you get the concept i have in mind quite well, that is quite a nice rig you have.

30 br perhaps....

Bit higher intensity round than what is recommended in the old rollers I beleive.

I was looking for a carry woods gun like you. I seemed logical. The caliber/single shot, carry weight and broad advantage it provides for game hunting. Long live the Krag.
