Hi Doug, My Holland double regulates well, crossing very slightly, with 28 grains of 4198 and 210 grain Speer half jacket pistol bullets; using a dacron filler. Cases are identical with 10.3X60, available from RWS. Or can be made from .348 Win. except a bit short. You have to turn the rims thinner also. For heavier bullets, I would decrease the powder a few grains, and see how they regulate. This cartridge is one of my favorites as most of the doubles made for it are lightweight, and a pleasure to shoot. Good whitetail medicine. All the best, SXS [Mal MacGregor] | |||

Doug here is a link to a load used in an old Alex Henry double with Damascus barrels. Alex Henry 450/400 -2 3/8 Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
