I don't know how to attach the pics directly to this forum.
Pics are from the sellers site.
Made in 1930 for the Earl of Erroll and sent to Kenya in 1930.
Cased with tools, spare firing pins and spanner wrench to swap them out. Bores like new.

Very nice, I like the Dominion rifles a lot, and in one of the best cartridges no less. Well done.

I like Dominions more than royals. I’d love a Dominion in .375 flanged or 500/465.

Wow what a honey!
John I don't currently have a running photo hosting account.
Flickr changed the game and after the Photobucket drama I haven't grown a trust in any of the other ones.

I shot the .375 on Sunday. Using the conversion of XX grains of cordite (54) x 1.19 = the weight in grains of Reloader 15. 300 and 270 Woodleighs shot to point of aim and 25 and 50 yards.
So 64 Grains of R 15 regulates well. This is Graeme Wright's load from "Shooting the British Double
Rifle." No recoil at 10 lbs weight, handles well with 26" barrels.
Many thanks to Tinker.

Great result straight up!
I tried some other powders but found the best result with RE15 too.
What velocity are you getting with 300 grain Woodleigh sorts?
