Re: 10 bore manton goes into the air tomorrow

The moment of truth!!!!!!!!!!!.

Starting with my "babyloads" of 200grain 1.5FG swiss and a 900grain bullet both bullets strucked exactly at point of aim at 25 meters almost touching eachother ...
..now I was getting warmed up for truly "elephantloads".....RECOIL was there NO QUESTION.
Both shots touched eachother sitting 3 inches below and a little to the left.
Pictures was taken, and will be e-mailed to me later...I will post them for sure.
Starting from litteratly rock bottom in this doublerifle-thing, I was truly amazed. I had bullets that were undersized (.775 versus .793)I had to use teflontape to add more bulletdiameter...but it worked!!!. The barrels after shooting 8 shots was a little messy only and very easy to clean. I had not use any kind of bulletlubes for what so ever. I used shotgun primers by winchester, which I was a little affraid could not ignite 270grain fullpower elephantload...
I can only confess that my doublerifle debut have went well
A friend of mine brought his .500 Jeffery which I also shot. There are more muzzlelift with the 10 bore double.(more smoke too..hahaha).
The doubleriflebug has strucked me for sure..Life has just begun..
