I finally got my hands on a double rifle, its a near new VC in 450-400 3".

Small round body action, weighing 9.5lbs with 24" barrels. It came with a docter red dot which is mounted very low so I still got a good cheek weld, colour case hardened action, upgraded wood, built around 2018-2019 I believe, regulated with Hornady ammo.

I have loaded 3 different loads straight out of the Woodleigh loading manual using 400 grain softs, fingers crossed it likes one of these 3 loads.

I might change the recoil pad, I'll see how it feels to shoot first.

Wow, beautiful!! Congratulations.
 
Really love your VC double! It’s a real beauty.
 
Congratz, Beautiful double. The round body is my favorite of the VC models. Enjoy shooting it.
 
Beautiful double, love the color of the receiver. Looks like it needs to go on an adventure to the wilds.
 
Nicely regulated as well....
 
Apart from my 9.3x74r double that unfortunately had to go , that is the best regulated double I have seen shown on this site...most I wouldn’t accept how they shoot..but just me as have ocd about it...if that's the correct word....don't like it when bit off centre..or one higher than the other...mine was muzzle width apart at 60 or so yards in centre of target...first time I shot it was standing off hand at 100 yards...when I walked to the target I was quite amazed to see the holes were level with each other and only about 8 or 9 inches apart...as said off hand and first time I ever shot it...loved it but as said had to go...lawyers bills...as said yours is very nicely regulated, and the last load looks perfect :D Beers:

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
