First off good to have the time to stop back by the forums. I have been keeping up from time to time but been very busy as of late and not posted in a while.

To my question, over the past few months I sold my new double (reproduction if you will

) and have been off and on looking for a vintage replacement. I recently came across a very nice H&H chambered in .475, I almost passed it up assuming it to be out of my price range but after a little talking think I might be able to swing it as the owner is interested in trading out some of the value.

I have done a bit of looking around the net and find that the cartridge may be a bit of a odd ball. I was interested if anyone had any first hand experience with it and also what I am getting myself into finding brass, load data etc.. for it.

The only draw back would be I leave for Africa end of SEP it will be a shame to leave it home, oh well there is always the next safari.
