Re: Calibres for a .410 double rifle conversion

I have just ordered Ellis Browns book and eagerly await its arrival.
Perhaps then some of my questions will be a little better informed.
The Game Fair was great fun with some very interesting things on show.
The first was an "India" .700 Nitro Express by William Evans, bejewelled, gillded and encrusted within an inch of its life, which however was eclipsed by one of their most delicate .243 sxs you could ever imagine.
A real show stopper for me was the Chapuis 9,3 x74R sxs built on a 28 gauge frame that was as light and responsive as a conductors baton.
Finally there was an old Spanish 20 bore sxs with semi-pistol grip, cheek piece, fences, Greener cross bolt. Disc set strikers and provision for sling swivels on the under-rib (£250 on the price ticket).
I thought I would check with the book before trying to buy the gun. The gunshop is reasonably close and might offer a bit of a deal.
I should have taken some photos but we were a bit busy on the stand with most of the enquiries being about driven boar hunts in Croatia.
