Quote: In the book, "The Gun And It's Development" by WW Greener, in the chapter 'Modern Sporting Rifles' there is a chart of weights of bore rifles relative to barrel length The figures for the 10 bore Double Barrel rifle top out at 11.5 lbs for a rifle with 27" barrels with each inch less of barrel yielding a rifle weighing a half pound less. Given this pattern, I'd expect your rifle to weigh more than 9-1/2 lbs. A ball and shot rifle could/should weigh and balance differently than a bore rifle, but still this sounds light. How is recoil with this load? Does that fiber wad fit tightly in the bore? How is this load printing on your target? |
