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. Mike

w 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.
