Re: Jeffery .577 3 1/4" double

Thanks for the welcome.
I have sourced a few boxes of the Woodleigh 650 grain RN for BP rifles. I also have a number of cast bullets in similar weights and lighter. I will try a few out and see how they shoot. I was very impressed with the consistency and accuracy in the 30 our so rounds I got to shoot last fall. At 50Meters they were all grouping together. I need to get more time out to say much more about how it shoots. I am used to heavy rifles and this double kicks quite heavily.
I have not shot this rifle much yet, but I hope to now that the temperatures are getting up where it's nice to go out shooting again.
We have some heavy game here, I hope to get a chance to hunt with it.
How would I find out more details about my rifle? And if mine was made in 1898, when would they have started proofing these things for Nitro or Cordite?
I will get some pictures to post also.
