Joined the Double Club Now

Congrats on the new add! Looks nice!
 
I have been shooting my 458 Lott quite a lot. I don’t think it will be any worse than the 500 Jeff I just sold was. I shot this gun before we sealed the deal. Not bad as long as you are standing but on the bench is a different story.
That’s true!
 
Very beautiful rifle Mark! One day I’ll join you in your special double club ;)
 
Ok guys need some opinions from the double guys.
I finally got out to range today with the VC. It is regulated with Norma ammo according to the paperwork and target. I have some of it ordered but not in yet. In the mean time I got some Federal 570 gr Aframes and started shooting it. I mounted a Kahles red dot on it.
What do you all consider acceptable accuracy for a double? Here are two targets I fired when shooting the Federals today at 50 yards. Second target is two shots from left and right barrel.
First target is 6 shots 3 from left 3 from right. I shot these standing, not sitting , using a Uncle Buds Bull Bag for a rest. Widest spread is 2 3/4 inches.
What is your opinions on it please. Double rifles are new to me.
The Federal ammo is easier to find than the Norma for me also.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,

@Mac Baren, I live central to city of Cincinnati. I have work travel early this week but could hopefully meet later this week (with no schedule changes). What area of town are you working/staying in?
Kind regards
Ron
