I hope your new company does well, Yoogi. Sometimes it's a rough row to hoe.

'Course, I don't own any double rifles. I'm not buisiness oriented, unfortunately. I've been in enforcement all my working career.

Thanks Daryl...

The only double rifles I own are a "poor man's" double --- a 50-70 converted from a Merkel 12 gauge and a 12 gauge smoothie set up for slug shooting and a 20 gauge side by side that I use to shoot slugs and birdshot.

I had the 12 gauge side by side out today. Man that is a heck of a double ball thrower. I was shooting round balls with it today mostly. Had both barrels shooting well. A bit high of point of aim but that could have been me more than the loads. Still it was in the down dead zone every shot and I shot quite a bit.

But yes I hope to make some additions soon, I hope. I have been wanting that 10 gauge side by side cut short and tuned up with the right roundball/powder/wad combo to be a reliable hunting double. I don't know why I like to shoot round balls and big projectiles so much but I do.

Yoogi- re: your last sentence, the large round balls kill game more effectively than high velocity little bullets, is why. Out to about 175 yards, small calibre bullets have no advantage over large round balls - fired from a rifle. At close range, ie: to 80, possibly 100 from a good load in a smoothbore the same applies.

Plinking at various targets gives a high appreciation of the large diameter round balls, the larger, the better. They add a boost to the pleasure of this sport.
