Today I went shooting my Manton 10 bore doublerifle!.

I have not yet the brass casings from Rocky Mountain cartridge....so alcan plastic hull would fill the bill.
My bullets were undersized (.775 versus .793)..so in order to increase diameter of bullet I used teflontape wrapped bullets of 900 grain.
My first load was a "babyload" with only 200 grains of swiss No4. As seen on the video they strike 6 o`clock at point of aim at 25 meters.
The fullpowerloads however was touching eachother sitting approx 2.5" below and a little to the left. Fullpower loads was a a 10 dram or 270 grain swiss No4. Recoil is really of something here...very funny actually

.
I have been very surprised to see how well the rifle regulate. Here on the first session ever shot by me I had expected the gun to shoot "all over the place" with these leadbullets. I have not used any bulletlubricants at all, and the barrels were quit clean after 4x2 shots. The blackpowder residue was easy the clean out.
I have read " The winchester lever legacy" by Clyde Williamson where he use teflontape because the rifling/bore were bigger than his casted bullets...so i thought i could du the same here...and it worked!!

Another forum member here shot two shot with the Manton...and his two shot were almost one ragged hole.
Here is a slideshow where I shot a fullpowerload+ the target+ 2 10`s beside a 45-70. I will never ever understand why anybody calls a 45-70 a "big Bore"...maybe a "pooniebore"....hahaha.

Looks like it should stop the charge of a runaway cement truck.
