Nick,
Thanks for posting this article. Ray Ordorica is to blame as much as this forum for getting me hooked on big bores. He wrote an article in Gun Digest a long time ago called "Use a Big Rifle." I thought he had a very convincing argument in favor of big bores. My favorite is his quote that he would rather lug a 585 Nyati on a sheep hunt than a 6mm.

I've got hundreds. I'm culling the herd now ... taking out all the good articles and stacking what's left to help heat up the garage this winter.

This ain't cricket, old boy. You are killing me with all this stuff. Do you know how time-consuming it is to hit each pic and download each one? I know you are having fun. By the way, did Ray Ordorica ever make it to Africa? Thanks.

475Guy - You're talking "time"? How about helping me out with the finding, cutting, scanning, croping, editing, organizing, uploading and posting of all these puppies? You've got the easy part! [Big Grin]

BTW - I never heard of Ray Ordorica before or after this article! [Big Grin]

Nick,
Didn't you get that out of the 1995 Handloader's Digest?

Roy Ordorica had several other similar pieces in the Handloader's Digest's over the years. I never saw him anywhere else but the Handloaders Digest Annuals, but not lately. And that publication has shriveled up lately.

Interesting what he says about doubles not crossing.

Bwana-be,
What he says is true for a perfectly regulated double rifle and an infinitesmally adjusted load. Increase the powder charge by a fraction of a grain, and the rifle will "cross" somewhere between the regulated range and infinity.

Mighty presumptuous of Roy and Ol' Elmer to claim to have infinitesimally uniform and nonvariable loads. In reality, any perfectly regulated double rifle will be crossed or diverged slightly, at any given range, due to the variability of factory ammo or handloads assembled by human hands.

Any real world ammunition is going to be on either side of that infinitesimally perfect load, from shot to shot.

And then there are the compensating errors introduced by the human pulling the trigger and holding onto the double rifle.

When Roy shot his double 470 at one mile range and didn't see any crossing, he didn't say how far divergent the two barrels were at that range.

Kind of silly, eh?

Well, anyway, at any reasonable range, say out to 200 yards, a good double can be used without worrying about "crossing."
