The 75% rule is "75% of the weight of the regulated load IE 500grns, with a full powder charge". Another respected shooter says 75% powder charge with a full weight bullet.
I use the full powder charge, light bullet and it works quite well in several doubles.
On RH rifle the front fires the right pipe. On LH rifles it's the left that gets touched off first. You can look at the 'stagger' of the triggers and see this. They are regulated this way and supposedly the regulation isn't as good if the wrong trigger is pulled first. I haven't noticed this...
You can also get Hawk bullets soft point and solid for that beast. Hornady make affordable dies for that beast also.
Lee makes a good single stage press for under $100 that'll handle the longer cartridges.
I've got all of Cal's books and in each one I learn a tid bit or two.
The Kodiaks are a good value for new members of the DR community that don't want to spend a ransom for a rifle. My first was a 9.3X74R that would place them a barrels width apart at 50 yds. It was barrel heavy but deadly with iron sights. It's since migrated to Fla. to another member of here...
There were 2 Hollis's making firearms. A. Hollis and I. Hollis. The A Hollis was a retailer and didn't make them. Most were made by Leonard the same maker as many Jeffries IIRC. I Hollis was a maker and also branded the guns for other retailers.
I've got a "Best" 500/450 Magnum branded A...
The very early ones had twin sights. Not for many years though. They are fairly well set by jigs.
I have one with 12 ga barrels also. It's a factory oddity.
Somewhere I have pictures of me holding just this set up. A Boddington 450 NE #1 with a 458' rechambered top a 450 NE. Lot'sa duct tape was used for this home brewed double.
