________________ Yes I did, when Ellis Brown came to Tech College in Pine City, MN; I enjoyed every second of it. Further, I have kept a periodic email exchange with Ellis, a great guy who works hard as he strives for perfection. Again, read Brown's book; follow what he suggests. It gives a...

I don"t see how to edit a prior post I made, so let me do it this way: On last line of my last post, I said "re-solder hole with iron........" To make it more clear, I should have said "re-solder hole with soldering iron--not with torch; not too much heat that could loosen rib joint."

Regarding the Verney Carron double you mentioned not shooting to decent regulation, I have heard of a few others, not many, same maker, doing same. A guy from Texas had one, I think it was in .450 nitro, that shot similar, and he and Ken B., along with participation from Verney Carron, I think...

Matt, Thanks for clearing up the issue regarding bullet impacting points, etc., when you said "as for my shots being 3" but not being able to tell if they crossed. its simple, the impacts are likely about an inch apart and with these poor sights and my unsteady hands im not able to aim at the...

How can you get 4 shots under 3" at 50 yards; at same time get them so close together that you can't tell if they are crossing or not? Glad to see good results from the 4895 charge I suggested to you. The late Elmer Keith was the first to tell tell me about that load he used; it works just as...

If you pay particularly close attention to those "bad mouthing" Sabatti, the majority of them are from chaps who DON'T own Sabatti doubles, yet they are "experts" about them. Most of the people who do not bad mouth Sabatti DO own them, and like them. Early on, some Sabatti doubles had one or...

Matt, Earlier, you said that Ken Owen was sending you some of the cartridges loaded with R15 that he re-regulated the rifle with, and also some loaded with 3031 too, so I am anxious to know how those shot in your rifle. Also, you didn't mention what kind of bullet impact, spread, you were...

Thanks, Matt for the update. Let us know again, after you get chance to sort out all the issues, when it isn't raining!

"bullets are easy enough to find though, since both Woodleigh and Swift make them. I bought 3 boxes of bullets, one box 400gr Woodleigh SP, one box of 400gr Swift SP, and one box of Swift 350gr SP. the gun is regulated for Hornady factory ammo but I would have to be 100% positive absolutely...

"from my understanding a properly regulated gun should shoot roughly 1 inch apart at any distance with a given load." "this rifle does indeed have ejectors." ________________________ Matt, Your understanding is not accurate. The standard regulation for a big bore is 3 inches apart, but...

"At a certain distance, the bullets can cross paths. Not because of the regulation, but because of the natural spread of each barrel that will make it possible for a bullet from the right barrel hit to the left of the bullet shot from the left barrel. The distance this happens all depends on...

sestoppelman: "Will not the bullets cross paths at some point either before or after the "regulated" point? Or will they, as some have said, continue to be parallel and maintain POI at all ranges regardless the regulation point? I don't see how that's possible." "but I have read from many...

matt85, Here is what I suggest you do, to see if you can get your Sabatti to shoot better groups: Use only one bullet type, with profile same as originally used to regulate rifle, and later used to re-regulate it by Ken Own. Use only one powder type, R15, unless Ken Owen used a different...

Let me respond by commenting within your writing:

Norwegianwoods----"I don't know how hot the factory 450/400 load you refer to is as I know to little about the cartridge, but in general I would avoid hot loads in hot hunting conditions that you very much can experience when hunting African DGs. This is one of the reasons I don't buy much into...
