Re: Samual & Charles Smith, London Double Rifle

I bought this gun from an estate. I was told the previous owner had taken it to Africa in the 1990s where it took a wildebeest.

While well worn, it is still solid and I intend to take game with it myself some day soon. I got a round ball mould .678 inches in diameter and have been playing with powder charges, patch thickness and patch lubes. The 2 3/4 drams engraved on the barrels equals about 75 grains. Sure enough, my best load to date is 80 grains of 2f goex.
