    Advice for loading 7x57 & 6.5x55

    In 6,5x55 I also use 48,0 grs Norma MRP behind a 140 grs bullet such as Nosler Accubond, Rhino Solid schank. With Vihtavuori N-160 powder I use 45,5 grs behind the same bullet, but a good advice is to start 1-2 grs lower and work up the load until you find the perfect load for your rifle

    This as a DGX bullet. 500 grs Barnes Solid in cal 470 NE after entering the tailroot, and recovered in the skin in the chest, on the buffalo, cutting the big venes on the top of the hart. I think this bullets also will kill a 6,5 litre V8 engine as well

    Most of the manufacturers is writing in their users manual that you shall fire right barell first, also the front trigger, this is because the heat and vibration have influence on the left barell and the adjustments of the pipes are done because of this,

    Why are there no Double Rifles which are Over and Under?

    What do you guys think about using 9,3 X 74R on the big five? I think Elephant and Hippo on shore are to heavy. Headshot on hippo in the water I think will work fine.

    Double rifle shooting - good or not at 50 meters?
