I just picked up a book called "shooting the British double rifle" by Graeme Wright. Its only printed 2 years ago and had heaps of info on everything to do with doubles such as load info,component info and converting from BP to nitro, making paper patched bullets and so forth. I thought if someone was interested in getting into doubles, it would be a great book to learn about doubles(all kinds ,not just British)
SHOOTING THE BRITISH DOUBLE RIFLE Graeme Wright 2nd edition, 1999. Hard cover, dust jacket, 9� x 7� in., 180 pp, 86 illust & 8 4-colour plates. ISBN 0 949749 40 0
"With updated loads and information along with new chapter on the Paradox guns and cartridges, this expanded edition also features updated appendixes and classic full-colour shots of top quality Holland & Holland, Westley Richards, W.C. Scott and Rigby rifles. A collector�s delight. $39.50"
Take it from the school teacher, the way to search the net for books is to use the search engines www.abebooks.com and www.bookfinder.com. You can search the globe for unusual books on whatever you want and pay by credit card. If the book is sold before you can get to it, they will tell you and you can search elsewhere. Very useful sites, I can tell you!

If one of you is interested I just finished reading this book. I purchased it here a few weeks back. It is indeed interesting and for those wanting pure information it is packed and for me anyway took many re-reads to fully grasp what I was trying to understand about doubles before buying one. An excellent read. $35 shipped if you want. Frank
