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.

Congrats!
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.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.
On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.
its going to be a good year!
