What was the original caliber of this rifle?
So far I have seen a Holland 500/465 and a late Alexander Henry 475no2 with burst barrels. I have heard of others but those are the only two I have personally handled.
The Henry had been rebored.
The original caliber was .450Nitro.
Yes..prewar doubles for cordite is a lottery ticket. Interwar period english dr may be safe with modern ammunition using softjacket bullets a la Woodleighs.
