Re: Pedersoli double rifle with hammers..

Hopefully the .450Nitro ammunition will be more available.

Speaking of the .450Nitro. Winchester tried in with their .458Win to duplicate past times .450Nitro ballistics. It has been a commen knowledge that Winchester .458cal ammunitions didn´t live up to claimed ballistics...BUT..there is a BUT in the book `Expert`s on guns & shooting`(1900) by GT Teadale-Buckell on page 461(Rigby chapter) a Mr.Knight, Maneger of Curtis & Harvey conducted velocity tests on Rigby´s .450Nitro. The 480grain is 1970 ft/sec and 350Grain is 2059 ft/sec.

Maybe Winchester afterall got it right?...:LOL
