Received my copy of Graeme Wright's book Shooting the British Double Rifle and let me just say it is a treasure trove of useful information. I have two rifles now, funny how they follow you home, and I'm planning on trying to work up some different loads for them. The info in the book covering powders and regulating will undoubtably make it more fun and rewarding without wasting a lot of time, effort and money. A nice looking book to boot. Looks good on my coffee table. I highly recommend it.
 
I too loved it. One cautionary tale: per Ken Owen, the loads in Graeme's book are wrought with errors and suspect. Always verify with a 2nd source.

I found this to be the case with .318WR as most of the recipes resulted in compressed loads!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've already noticed differences between the different reloading manuals. Start low, work up slow.
 
Very interesting and informative book. I still check two sources before I start working on loads for a caliber I've never loaded previously.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
