Re: Using your double to its fullest
25/11/04 08:14 AM

You know, I hate to be the fall guy here, but my experience with double rifles has not been the same.

Over the past 22 years I have owned, loaded for, and shot 12 to 15 double rifles of various calibers. I am yet to find one that will regulate with a wide array of bullet weights.

My experience is in calibers ranging from .300 Mag. to .500 NE. As to the .500 NE I will admit that I have not tried many different bullets. 105gr. IMR 4350, Woodleigh 570 soft or solid, Fed. 215 - that's all it takes. No need to dig around further.

But again, I can't make my .300, the 8mm's I have had, my current 9.3, my former 9.3, my 9x57R, my .375 H&H, or my .500 BPE shoot any bullet weight but what it seemed to be regulated for. With the right bullet weight I can get fine results.

So now I've confessed, and I feel better.

Graeme Wright confesses to the same in his wonderful book. (I sure wish I could have had that book in the early 80's when I started this foolishness. By the time I got it I had my diploma from the school of hard knocks.)

Do the rest of you nimrods have magic double rifles that shoot all manner of bullets into the same ragged hole?

If so, please join the discussion and shed light on your technique. I would truly like to know how it's done.

Best regards,
CptCurl
