Shootaway: I am both humbled and defeated by your well-deserved comments pointed in my direction. I ask your forgiveness for my actions and words of the past and come to realize now the reason for my behavior can be put into one word: jealousy. Bottom line is this: I would trade my rifles for yours, my knowledge of firearms for yours, my targets for yours, my African and general hunting experiences for yours, my personality for yours, etc., and the list goes on and on. I pledge from this day forth I will read and learn from your posts and be a better person for it. Others here may scoff at my efforts but it pails when compared to what I will gain in life with you as my mentor. Your humble and now more knowledgeable servant, Cal PS. And I hope to gain the same level of admiration here on AR as you have. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Mt too! Like you not now! Many people post and find it hard to get their meaning across but are usually understood after a fashion, or if allowed to explain. Not having seen many of his posts I used to think some were just picking him apart. It has become clear to me now this guy simply has a problem that makes him blind to the real world, and in his mind justifies anything he does, and he believes anything "HE" says to be gospel. That is too bad because he evidently has the funds and some good firearms to do some hunting in Africa! Too bad he is devoid of ability to use them well and is unable to get along with anyone. ....................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

It is amazing how much some people seem to know about double rifles one week after buying their first one. However it is far more amazing when the guy has just ordered one, and has not even received it yet but knows EVERYTHING about double rifles! In that context, shootaway seems to be a genius on double rifles so he can declare a double to be junk when I doubt he has ever even shot one of any kind! ..................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Two things. I think most on here wouldn't take any notice of what Shootaway said, good or bad about a gun. Secondly, I hope if Shootaway does "shytecan" the gun that Saeed or the mods get busy with the delete / ban button. I like Mike's name for him, "shothiswad".

My Searcy double should be here in about a month. I think I will start loading some rounds. I will do a range report when I get it-take some pics too. I will let you know how the barrel cleans too.This is going to be fun! | |||

Fellow posters, There is a person who posts here, often in an offensive manner, who does so simply to trigger aggressive responses from the rest of us, FOR HIS OWN ENTERTAINMENT!!!! We need to STOP responding to his posts ALL TOGETHER! Thereby, we won't be his "marionettes on strings" any longer!!!!!

I loaded twenty 500NE rds today and all went well. I used IMR 4831,Win mag primers,Hornady cases,and 570gr woodleigh FMJ and RN bullets. The rifle should be here in about two months time. | |||

What loads were you loading ? And where did you get it from ? Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

| one of us |
Why do you ask? | |||
|
| One of Us |
For once that was a genuine question. Well, even if you asked Butch to regulate your gun to XXX gns of IMR 4831, which he duly does or he just regulates it as he always does and has told you the load. Firstly, he probably has a different batch of powder and primers and you do get slight variations between batches. Secondly, and probably more importantly, even gun is different, slight variations in the load, the way it is held. I would have loaded 4 rounds each across a spread of grns with 1 or 2 grns difference in each. You might luck it first go with yours but in doing 4 shots of each you, you are also learning about your new rifle and how sensitive it is to changes in powder etc. And if you don't "luck it" first time after 4 or 6 shots, you have 14 or 16 more than you probably have to pull to change the load. Just my HO, hope that helps. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

I am also going to load a box of rounds with another batch of IMR 4831 powder,federal primers and Northfork bullets. | |||
|

I like how the Hornady cases grip the bullets nice and tight.The primer seating operation went smooth and the primers are seated nicely in the primer pockets. | |||

All you need now is to find out if your load will regulate in the new double rifle. If they don't you have loaded a lot of ammo for nothing! With any new double rifle you need to load four rounds at a time starting low, and work up slowly till you hit the sweet spot that regulates in the rifle!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Shootaway. Personally, I wouldn't. Concentrate on one set of ammo with the only difference being a change in the amount of powder. Remember, only ever change ONE thing in a load with DR's otherwise you won't know which caused the change. Secondly, as Mac says, find the sweet spot with one load first. Once you do this, 1. You will have learnt a bit about the gun and it's sensitivities and 2. You always have a load to go back to that you know shoots and 3. Since you know this load shoots, it gives you a starting point if you want to change something - like the bullet. You take this load, drop 10%, ad new bullet and load up 4 rounds in the usual increments, hopefully hitting the sweet spot pretty quickly. That's my advice.

I think I will load the second batch with the same Winchester brand primers. | |||
|

I am hoping I need to just shoot two rounds at 50 and two at 100 and then just go home. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Don't worry about 100. Sort everything out at 50 and get it down pat first because you are also learning to shoot a new rifle as well as trying to get it to shoot accurately. Once you have the load that is on the "sweet spot", then try it at 75 and 100 or even just 100 if you are confident. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||
