A couple of months ago I purchased a used but essentially new William Douglas & Sons .470. It is a A&D boxlock ejector. I finally took it out back to my little range and set up a target at 70 meters. I used a set of sticks that offer forearm and stock support. Sight picture was bead full in the red center of the target. The left/right shots are pictured below.
As many know who have fooled with these wonderful/frustrating things, finding a factory load that regulates can be difficult - usually impossible. Even knowing the actual regulating ammuniton often doesn't solve things, because regulation can change, sometimes dramatically between lot numbers. This is a late eighties - early nineties rifle, so the odds of finding a current factory load that truly regulated was remote. Needless to say I am ecstatic, and immediately ordered 60 rounds - should be plenty to see me through.
