Re: Holland & Holland 16-Bore 9-Dram Double Rifle

With a weight of 13lbs 10 oz recoil should not be too bad, unless you give it the full 9 drams!
(my own H&H 8 bore ball gun at 16lbs lets me know with 10 drams)
Many thanks for posting

Considering an 8 bore ball is in the 875gr. range, I would think this rifle's twist must use a bullet at least that weight - OUCH! Didn't Forsyth figure a standard conical for the 14 bore would be 2 ounces = 875gr. for a 3' to 4' twist.
