I have been able to get most.303 doubles shooting with bullet weights ranging from 124 grain Taipan HP’s to 215 grain Woodleigh RN SP’s and that allows for a fair variety of quarry species! They come about a light as British nitro doubles do, usually weighing in the order of 9 pounds; only affairs like Holland & Holland’s .240 Flanged Magnum coming in much lighter at around 8 pounds.

Built properly, they handle like a good British shotgun, and on “herd” animals (in Oz, that is skippy’s, goats, pigs etc) hunted in cover there is always the prospect of a good old fashioned “bomb-up”! Hence the need for a pair – and a loader of course!

As I said, ideal for our hunting here! Maybe we lack things that lacerate (pigs can have their moments!), but we do have quantity, and NO trophy fees!

You might ask, what is the 22RF for???

Well, being inherently parsimonoius, and having a intense dislike for reloading anything that doesn’t pay an adrenalin dividend, there is always the (odd) cripple to put down!
