Bonanza , I wasn't saying it can't be done, what I was refering to was REAL double rifle ammo for dangerous game! I use even paper patched lead in many of my doubles for stump shooting. However, when ventureing into the weeds with a pissed off Cape buffalo, I don't want any lead bullets in ONCE FIRED BRASS, I don't want, any thing but the best bullet I can find, in brand new brass.

To develope those loads, one must first load them and experiment to get them right. For this you can use your once fired brass, but when you load your DG loads everything needs to be spanking NEW, and QUALITY. That ammo is what I was refereing to, because that is what the factory ammo is, the load I'm looking for, and those loads cost money even if you load them yourself!

In reply to:

5) Final word - there are a lot of guys who can't shoot their big bores because they are scared the hell of them. I plan on becomeing a marksman with mine, in fact - I won the Nitro 1 class and pulled a second in two other events with my .375 double, and that was against guys with scoped bolt guns!

By the way I've congratulated you on those wins several times. That is quite an achievment for a NEW TO DOUBLE RIFLE shooter. Let me give you something to think about, if you had to use full power loads, how well do you think you would have done, say with your 470NE, against those bolt rifles?

It is my opinion, the only way to become profecient with a dangerous game rifle is to practice with the loads you are going to use while hunting DANGEROUS GAME, but that's just me!
