What about from a use point of view???

For example, can an old Brit gun be used the way a modern gun can?

Are they as tough, or they even tougher? (steel/build)

I believe greatly in old steel, but with guns i notice things differ a tad with regards to pressures and such.....

FYI
Older doubles should not be shot with monolithic solids--as in Barnes solids.. the older guns were not made for this type of hard bullet and yes, it can and has damaged the barrels of older doubles. Some may disagree with this, but ALL of my conversations I have had with makers have all stated this to be true..

Thank you
