Same here.

Really, I can hardly think of a better double/combo cartridge than the 7.62x54R. Rimmed already, great ballistics, a vast amount and variety of loads available. I wonder though, as there are those fellows who say shooting Nosler Partitions and Swift A-Frames is a no-no out of double guns due to the increased resistance the partition offers the barrel steel. Many 7.62x54R bullets use steel or other hard cores with a skin of lead between the core material and the jacket. A problem for a double? I don't know. Might be depending on groove depth.

My hope when Remington took over the sale of the guns was that their engineers might spend a wee bit of time figuring out a regulation method that would be easy to incorporate into production, thereby eliminating that bug-bear from the design which is to say adding an excellent feature to the gun. The guns are "almost" there in my opinion, and just a little more attention would make them quite amazing for the price. Incidently, I shot quite a variety of loads thru my .30-06 and had zero pressure problems with it that I could determine.
