    Cool old picture of a working double in Alaska

    I don't think it is a Dominion. The action plate is the wrong shape.

    Try and convince me the 243 is actually useful

    .243 Win makes an ideal cartridge for Woodland Roe (and Muntjac). Within its limits (imho) up to 150 yrds, I see no need for a bigger round. 150 yrds is more than enough for typical British woodland stalking on Roe. I have shot Roe with my 8 x 60 but it doesn't kill them any quicker. Here is...

    I must have been living under a rock for 60+ years! Until yootube popped that film onto my feed I had never heard of the fellow. Since then I have found several other video's relating to him.

    7X57 or 7mm-08 or 308

    If for some reason I had to get rid of the 8 x 60r , .243 and my beloved 222 , I would get a 7 x 57. I reckon with one of those (along with the venerable .22lr) I would have things pretty much covered rifle-wise.

    Any point in a 'small' double rifle?

    A very clear and fullsome explanation. Thank you.

    Any point in a 'small' double rifle?

    Correct. I shouldn't have added the "R" at the end of 8x57 So the question still stands. Neck up 8 x 57 rimless? Would that work?

    on a lighter note...

    I called a work colleague once who had left early. I called him on his mobile, which he often left at work, and said "John, thought you might want to know you have left your phone on your desk again" He actually drove back to the office before he realised.

    Any point in a 'small' double rifle?

    Pictures are always welcome. Would it be too hard to neck up an 8 x 57R? I have not compared the case dimensions but maybe a neck expander and if needs be fireforming? I speak as someone who reforms 7x65R brass to 8x60R (for a light calibre double - to go back to the OP for a moment) So whilst...

    Any point in a 'small' double rifle?

    I had the chance to look at a 9.5 x 57 a couple of years ago. A Mannlicher Schoenauer 1910 The furniture had heavy patina (lol) but the action was as smooth as silk and a pristine bore. Would love to be able to hunt with it And below on the right (Sorry for the rubbish photos)
