Welcome to AH, is that the Highlands ammo from South Africa?

I think it's PPU ammo repackaged for Australia, cheap and nasty but good for the range and pigs!

 

[CAustin]

Welcome to AH sir! Nice looking rifles. What is the make of the double?

 

[siml]

You right the ammo is nasty and only good for target and pigs.

 

[alby]

Thanks for the warm welcome.
The double is a Merkel 450-400 3", 140 AE (ejector) I have only just purchased it guided by a mate who knows a bit about doubles...along with 90 cases and some Hornady dies and fired about 30 rounds through it at the range. Great Fun!!! very nice to shoot (75gn AR2209, 400gn RNSN Woodleighs Federal 215s)
Looking forward to putting it over the bench and chrono and then taking it out to sort out a buff or two!
Cheers.

I normally try to chamber every round before heading bush as I've come across quite a few that won't chamber with the CRF of the CZ, tolerances a bit sketchy.
