Mickey kindly sent me this pic of a truly serious double. A double 8-bore.

Now that is a couple of barrels to get lost in.

Here are some more pictures. I have posted some of them earlier.

The Tolley on the Bottom and a Manton on the top. They both weigh about 17 lbs. The Manton has Damascus Barrels and shoots and 8 Dram load and 850 grain round ball. The Tolley is an 11 Dram load and 1150 grain Bullet.

The Bores of the Tolley and and 8 Bore Manton. That is a .22 on the sight and a .600 NE in the barrel.

Now there's a pair I would like to try! My 8 bore is an under hammer powder gun, and with the 300 grains of FFg and the 1150 patched round ball it will get your attention
