Not sure Todd...being a double rifle and all :-) I guess if the barrel was close enough.

.483 or .488 caliber?

Rusty, the 475 straight and the 475 #2 are both .483, with the 475 No 2 Jeffery being .488.

Got the #2 Jeff. Fun to shoot and that long cartridge never fails to impress...especially the ladies? Have you got to shoot yet? How's ammo availability?

The 475 straight is the easiest of the 475s to feed. It just requires the popular 450 NE case...run it through the dies and it opens up for the larger bullet. New 475 3 1/2" brass is available, but for practice and load development, Hornady 450 NE brass is 1/3rd the cost. I talked with JJ Perodeau at the DSC and I'm sending the rifle to him first, for cleaning, slugging the bore, inspection, soldering check, etc.

Will do...might move it out if I find the right 577.

Nice one Jon. A perfect companion for the 9.3 in Africa.

Naki, that would indeed make a nice set of doubles for an African hunt.
