Re: Valmet 412 and Tikka 512 Double rifles

Dug 1,
I must admit to getting a bit of a chuckle with this one!
In reply to:
This can be tried with an O/U, but the cartridges tend to wander in different dirrections when the hand is held with the palm faceing the left side of the rifle, gravity makeing the cartridges want to fall together, and roll between the fingers. One is better off loading one barrel at a time with the O/U!
You have just described how your SxS method of loading both the O/U chambers does not work very well, true?
Part of my original statement was.......
" perhaps you should try a different loading technique".
My point being that it may not be a fault of the O/U but really a fault with the technique used to load the O/U!
Perhaps if you don't want to take my advice on doubles you may prefer to take some of your own.
Like regarding SxS & O/U chamber loading......
"Loading technique can,almost always, be improved on"
and
"If one needs improveing, they usually both do"!
Good advice indeed!
