What was the original caliber of this rifle?

So far I have seen a Holland 500/465 and a late Alexander Henry 475no2 with burst barrels. I have heard of others but those are the only two I have personally handled.

The Henry had been rebored.




The original caliber was .450Nitro.

Yes..prewar doubles for cordite is a lottery ticket. Interwar period english dr may be safe with modern ammunition using softjacket bullets a la Woodleighs.
