Re: RE: Book, Shooting the British Double Rifle, please com

Seems, we have a difference of opinion, and I won't argue with someone who thinks he knows it all. IMR 4832 has resulted in blown rifles in this country enough times that some of us know enough not to use it. Of course, no cordite loads have any kapok, but cordite is not modern smokeless powder either, as it is string-like, as you know, and cordite behaves differently than our modern smokeless, so case is not filled with smokeless the way it is filled by cordite. Wads work fine, especially if using automotive cork ones that break up easily, but kopok works even better, without worry of cork wads moving with recoil. In my books, after 40 to 50 years of shooting and hunting in Montana and Oregon, using doubles with handloads, kapok is the best, and Ross Seyfried knows what he is talking about, while numerous others still have to learn the hard way. Have a nice day, mate. Sullivan
