Having this discussion with a friend of mine today at the range... He was shooting his Mosin and all of a sudden he stops, gets this weird look and holds up one of his surplus 7.62X54R out of the giant spam can and he says, "you know I'd like to be able to shoot this.. in that" - pointing to my Savage 10FP.

Well, we started talking about it and now I am on here asking questions, which is I suppose the next logical step to this madness.

So, could someone more knowledgeable out rimmed cartridges in bolt action rifles please chime in? Thanks!
