I think he'd have done better if he'd posted here a link to the auction.

Capt. Unfortunately my state will not allow an 8 gauge for hunting so I may bid on this one....

Now that is a nice one, Ed. Now the H&H is too, of course, but it isn't a ML with 2 sets of bls.
Good luck with the auction.
Really nice.

Shame about not using an 8 bore Longknife!
Mind you the exploding bullets wold be an interesting turn of events for the second rifle!
I wonder how they were made, even looks as though it has the mould for that old girl as well?
Best of luck at the auction mate

Those 2 moulds might cast different parts of the exploding bullet/as-per James Forsyth's instructions in his book "The Sporting Rifle and it's Projectiles".
If you can get the compounds:
5 parts Potassium Chlorate
1 part Sulfur - I used Sublimed Sulfur (Flour of Sulfur)
1 part charcoal - I used ground up briquets
This is the detonating compound and works "a treat".

Re: H&H Paradox is up for sale!

Don't know the answer to that, lancaster. It depends on what a person wants.
Here, in Canada, even simply possession of exploding bullets is frowned upon. The ML should
develop much higher MV (maybe) - but will that overcome the much larger, heavier conical of
the 8 bore?
The 8 should be the more powerful, however much depends on what a person wants.
I personally would be much happier with the multi-barrel set on the percussion double.

Re: H&H Paradox is up for sale!

8 bore or 12 bore? I am sure the 12 bore would be good for any game animal on the American continent,,,,and it is a legal caliber here, minus the exploding part, which is illegal here too. It would be interesting to try the hollow points in it though.,,, Now the 8 bore! Yes it would be fun to shoot,,,a few times,but hunting from a stand 15 ft in the air, that might get a little scarey Too , it is illegal to use in my area,, and then there is the cost,,,,,8 bore 2 times the value of the 12 bore,,,I would have to go with the 12 bore, for my use,,, But if you NEED and 8 bore, then you need the 8 bore,,, Hmm. should have bid up that H&H posted above!!??? Decisions , decisions....,,,Ed

No primer.
Ignition is obtained through compression of the compound inside the slug.
The 8 bore might also produce or be capable of producing more fpe/joules than allowed by the May 1st order-in-council-law. I think the .460 WTBY is also over the limit, ie: now prohibited.
