Heym double rifle drilling

[Kynoch2015]

Wanted to share. New to me pre-war Heym dbl rifle drilling in 9.3x74 over 16ga. Got to take it out last weekend. First group and only group I shot - only at 25 yards, but shows promise. Was glad to find 16ga Brennekes! I intentionally shot the slug on the other target not knowing where it would land. Will have in the field this fall. Thanks!

Crikey what's it weigh?

 

[Kynoch2015]

Just under 8-1/4lbs. Handles well.

Huh. I would of thought it be in the double digits for sure!

Have you shot it at 50 yds +?

Thanks much. Not yet on paper.

Looks like some great regulation. Do you know what your shotgun barrel is choked? I’ve got a Heym 22S combo in 16ga/22 mag, and I was thinking about shooting some brennekes through it as well.

What loads were the 9.3 groups shot with?

That's amazing!

Thanks. The 9.3 ammo was S&B factory. The Brennekes were 2.5” as that is what the seller told me. When I got it, it’s marked for 2-3/4”. Perhaps full length shells will regulate better. I was told it’s modified choke but need to confirm. According to Brenneke’s website, their slugs can be shot out of a full choke barrel. Good luck with your 22/S!
