Mick,

I totally agree that rimless cartridges are out of place in a double rifle. I had one in .375 H&H for awhile but it is not the best plan.

That is a beautiful rifle of yours. The 9.3x74R is nice but lacks the horsepower I would like. I hear that the Chapius in 9.3x74R is a very nice, sleek double but I have never seen one in person.

What has always baffled me is that the gunmakers can make sleek and sexy doubles in .375 H&H or the 9.3x74R at 7.5 or 8 lbs. but as soon you jump to the 450/400 or 470, all of a sudden we have to have 11 or 12 lb. bludderbusses.
