Furthest, Flattest Shooting Double Rifle Caliber?

[Kharn]

As per the title and all your experiences... What is the Furthest, Flattest Shooting Double Rifle Caliber?

That’s a bit like asking which Ferrari can tow the biggest trailer…….

But, probably the .375. The rest of them are designed for work inside of 100 yards.

That was the first thing that came to my mind or the 9.3x74R

My Gaucher 9.3 x 74R is most accurate at 100m..and probably more..did not try it out further yet..

My Heym in 7x65R and I may be posting it for sale soon

I suppose my Heym in 7x65r is the most precise, flattest shooting double rifle I own.

However I have a feeling that the OP would like to know what double rifle caliber, for use on DG, would be the flattest shooting. Apart from the 375H&H and its flanged cousin, I suppose that the .500/416, duplicating the .416 Rigby should be quite flat shooting. As well as the 450/400.

500NE, it flattens anything it hits.

My 280 rimless nitro express double was the 7mm Rem Mag of its day - I don’t think that is what you mean though.

500NE, it flattens anything it hits.

This also includes what the recoil hits lol

Also depends on the rifle and quality of regulation. My Blaser S2 with either .375 or 30-06 barrels in place has easily killed game from 25 yards to 250.

I killed a warthog with my 458 win mag double at 249 yards a couple months ago. 1 shot kill.

Using a bullet designed for longer ranges is more important than the cartridge.

Which bullet did you use?

500

For DG calibers and standard builds (not a one off custom), it would have to be the 500/416. Nothing else is regulated for that Rigby velocity.
