Re: Manton & Co 10 Bore Doublerifle update

LuftHansa called me here yesterday! The 10bore will arrive here sunday at the airport, for me to pickup aswell
A good friend has got me some BlueDot powder+ i have been casting some cannonballs(bullets). The gun should come with a few pieces of brass. I have nitrocards+ feltwads.....However I will try out blackpowder too, to get some recoil...hahaha. In an artical from GunDigest 1996 they shoot a new 10 bore made at John Rigby & Co, London. 60 grain BlueDot and a 875grain bullet will do 1500Ft/Sec, ending all buffalo chargingsystems. Recoil is on par with .416Rigby or less.
In the artical they use 2 7/8 brass, mine use 3.25".
Pictures will follow!
