I am becoming aware of the vast amount of information there is about double rifle! What is the thought on the 500/450 cartridge chambered for Holland and Holland rifles? I gather its a proprietary round? so there were a lot less manufacturers over the years. Are there different sizes of...

What rifle, cartridge did you take your first Ele with?
