Accuracy of Double Rifles?
10/03/04 11:39 AM

Stealing an idea from another forum.

How accurate is a Double? Were they only designed for 100 yards or less as some have surmised. Were the rimmed versions of rimless cartridges less accurate than their brothers.

I made a statement that no one over there challanged. It is that the British Standard for regulation of a Double Rifle was 4 shots, 2 right and 2 left, was 3 inches at 100 yards. This is comparable to a Mauser with open sights at the time. This distance was not for the 600, 577 etc but the medium bores, they were regulated for 50.

I think that a Double will shoot as well as the shooter. A well regulated 9.3 or 375FM etc will shoot to 300 yards and kill as well as a bolt rifle with the same sights in a similar caliber.

Any comments?
