Re: .475 H&H your thoughts?

Is this the .475 3 .25 or the 475#2? If it is the 475 3.25 it is a good, but rare bird. I have some bullets for one around someplace as I ordered the wrong ones when reloading for a 475#2. Woodleigh makes the bullets and I believe you can use the Bell 450 basic for brass.

One of the best rifles that I didn't get was a H&H in 475#2 that was rebored from 450 3.25 in Austria. It was the most accurate Double I have ever seen, shooting one 8 shot composite group into 1.5 inches at 100 yards. It is still owned by a friend but the price is too much for me as he knows how much I would like to have it.

There is nothing in the rifle department that is quite as satisfying or that gives you as warm a feeling as a quality English Double.
