Maaate!
That's pretty damn good for straight off the bat!
Especially with the option to reduce the charge slightly to uncross.
Sure beats being close to maximum (charge, or recoil tolerance!) and still being apart.

Good catch on the "tipping" buckstix.
With my .58 SXS, I needed dd more powder to eliminate the crossing.

Good work Buckstix. Thanks for posting. Interesting.

And whenever I see your crimping tools it reminds me, I need a set in 10-bore and at least one set for 12-bore.

Last week I sent a 12 & 10 bore tool (#76 & #77) to Australia - been in customs for a week.

THanks for sharing Buck. I looked at that rifle many times on GI. I read about this very doublerifle when it featured in GD. I was back then puzzled a riflecartridge could be so big. (it didn`t make sense to me back then) I enjoyed JL articals. They were the best. Later on I did realized the british used these huge borerifles from other articals.

BTW. I use 62grain BD to a 1000grain leadbullet in my 10bore. It will pop alright.

I grew up reading all of Lott's publications, and starting looking for his rifles. I was fortunate to add this 3rd rifle of his to my collection. I am still working up loads and will publish data when complete. Testing today with an original 1475g HP bullet cast from an original mold. I hope to survive.
