NitroX,
No gun maker here, but I too studied the double rifle characteristics before buying mine. Bought some books and did my home work. The two most helpful books were as follows:
Building Double Rifles on Shot Gun Actions by W Ellis Brown, gunmaker in Colorado.
This book directly addresses your questions.
and
The Double Rifle Primer by Cal Pappas -well known African hunter, gun collector, and author in Alaska.
Very informative and a good read.
It appears that a couple of the previous posters on this thread have also done their homework.
I may already have both books, certainly Brown and I have a couple of Pappas's books. Yes I have heard of him, he is a member on NE.
I'll have to dig out those books when I get around to it. No rush.
Asked the question on the forums as it doesn't sound like extraordinary informatio0n to work out. Or off the top of someone's head. No worries. But very interested in knowing if the Valmet action and double rifle is capable of larger than 9.3x74R or similar powered cartridges. Real future porject possibility.
