I'm new to the double game, but I am having good luck with rl 15.5 for the full power loads and h4895 for low recoil practice rounds. I'm shooting the 470NE though so it may not work for you.

Foam filler...

I like the clay target idea....I've got a range out my back door so I can move around and shoot from all different angles and positions without getting growled at. I'm waiting on the Lee crimp die before I get to deep into the practicing. I've noticed fairly substantial velocity swings on...

So now that I've got a practice load and a solid and soft load developed, what are some drills a person should work on? I know getting on the sticks and shooting quickly seems to be a common theme for all aspects of hunting. Are there any recommended, double specific, drills to work on? How...

It looked like a lot of people were having luck with the rl 15.5 so I ordered some to try. I was only trying the 4895 because I had lots of it. I liked the temp stability of it better than the imr powder.

So, ive been trying to work up a load with h4895 and the 500 gr ceb solids in my 470ne. Tonight I got up to 76gr with foam wad, and my velocity was 1950fps. ( I started at 68 grs and that gave me 1740fps) They are getting closer to center, but still 4 inches apart. My rifle regulates with...

Always interesting to see what others opinions are...I have a switch barrel rifle with 260 rem, 308, and 358win barrels....does that count as 1 or 3?

Posting this in case someone is looking for a reduced load for their 470. Its working in my Verney Carron better than I could ever have asked. May not be suitable for anyone else. I have a RMR on my rifle. 400gr hawk flatnose 70 gr H4895 2gr poly fill Fed. Mag primer Norma brass Velocity...

I sent Eswan a pm several weeks ago. Still never heard a word.

88 or 89 both were the same, 32k ish. PH model wasn't quoted to me, not sure if its available. Don't know what all was quoted to the other guys.

Sorry , I misread who you were quoting. I thought you were asking Eswan. Wildwillalaska already sold his.

I never received any reply to any of the messages I sent him. He's either out of service, changed his mind, or just doesn't like me....maybe all 3!

Abbiatico and Salvenelli....Anybody ever handled one of these doubles or know anything about them? Ive heard they are more show pieces than working guns but not sure if thats reliable information. Any input would be appreciated.

Thats who I received the info above from.

Anybody know anything about the Abbiatico Salvinelli guns? Nice well built looking firearms but ive heard they are more show pieces instead of "working guns"
