Re: Webley & Scott Screw Action???

Unspellable,

If I remember correctly, your Evans is a 400/360. Have you worked out a load yet?

I have a William Evans 400/360 from 1903 with the same "William Evans from Purdeys" engraved on the frame. It's a Webley A&W C with ejectors and intercepting sears. It has the Webley # on the short rib. It's in its original case and was built for Lord Rothes. If you contact William Evans they will provide information about your gun. http://www.williamevans.com/

I'm a fan of any of the Webley built doubles, regardless of whose name is engraved on the side.


As you've read, if you do a search on this forum, it's important to slug the bores as there can be a difference with this caliber. I've been fortunate with my two, one slugs .3645 and the other .365.

The 400/360 has become my favorite double caliber. Easy to get brass for, easy to load and easy to shoot. So far I've killed 3 Hogs with the 400/360, they all dropped in their tracks with one shot. My last two were a right and a left double at the DRSS hunt in June. I shot my first Hog with a 250gr Nosler Ballistic Tip that blew up but killed the Hog, I won't use that bullet again. #2 and #3 were with the 286gr Woodleigh round nose.
