New Double Rifle Owner

I suffered a setback yesterday, Kynoch has not .475 Eley # 2 in stock and can not guarantee when they get it. Have based myself on reloading, but would not mind me some Kynoch shot to curb abstinences to all charging components are in place.

Huntington has Die set, Horneber has sleeves and W has bullets .... To my great surprise, my nearest hunting store have the right gunpowder in stock (y)

Great and beautiful Rifle Fury, Congrats!! (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)
 
Beautiful rifle Fury! Love the Ele engraving. Sweet deal on the ejectors, you would certainly think the dealer would have confirmed that prior to pricing the rifle. Always nice when a mistake favors the buyer.
 
Congrats! You'll enjoy it. Double rifles are fun.
 
I'm going to use loads from Graeme Wright book "Shooting The British Double Rifle (3rd. Edition), and try to regulate the barrels.

The rifle has been regulated with Kynoch ammunition.
Powder: Cordite.
Charge: 85 grains.
Bullet: 480 grains.

According to page 98, I'm going to try out.
Powder: IMR 4831.
Charge: 113 grains with Dacron filler.
Bullet: 480 grains.
Case: Bertram.

Congratulations on a beautiful rifle!
 
Fury, have you asked AH members for their "loading information" for the rifle you bought. I'll bet some of the guys can help you out, providing you ask them nicely. By the way, that is a beautiful rifle. Good luck on the Buffalo!!
 
From a fellow double rifle owner a big congrats to you on a beautiful rifle!!
 
very cool gun! Love the anticipation on the ejectors video, lol. I ordered my first double last month and can't wait. Enjoy it in good health.
 
Congratulations Sir. I hope it shoots great
Good luck hunting with it.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

where are you located? I would be happy to help you with you doing the reloading but I will only load for a very few real close friends as posted before liability is the problem. but will help you.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
