It sounds like you will shoot more accurately with the 7x57R as acromio-clavicular joints do not toughen up in response to repeat abuse. )-:

Thinking of rimmed cartridges, there is one large-case, rimmed .30 calibre you did not mention, the 7.62x54R Russian. With its fat rim and wide shoulders it would just LOOK and feel right, in a steampunk kind of way, as you slip two of them into the breech(es).

Wonder if we'll see more double barrel rifles used in the NZ bush, now semis are out. Fuchs make double bolt action rifles in the whole spectrum of calibres right down to their .17HMR Hummingbird.
