Boomer,

I have never hunted with a double rifle and had not even shot one very much until the BGRC shoot at Lodi last year where Ernie Stallman and Keith Olsen gave me their guns to shoot, and I shot several. I doubt you will have any problem with them.

Speaking of ammunition, Mike Schrank of Mike Schrank's Smoke N Gun told me that Aardvark Arms make some very fine ammunition in obsolete calibres at very reasonable rates - you might want to contact them to find out what they would charge for your requirements.

Best wishes and do post pictures of your guns here when you can. Good hunting!
