I took my .500 NE double out for a shooting session last week and it was a blast. Here is a quick video of my shooting a 1 gallon water jug and then a watermelon. It has awesome power and and a smooth shooter. I thought I might share. Sorry for the crappy cell phone video but I hope you will be able to see. Thanks!;)

Last year I shot a 450 Rigby at a rock and watched the rock turn into dust.
I expected the same type of result in your video.

Glad you had some fun.
 
I shot a .470 double for the first time last month. My only question now is how long will it be before I own one. They are fun indeed!!!!
 
I understand what you are feeling. I got to shoot a 470 NE and 500 NE double at a local SCI event several years ago and left with a huge smile on my face thinking of how to save enough money for my own double.
 
I watched this on Youtube saturday.... Great looking gun!

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
