My friend Jacob wanted to try a real big bore so I loaded up a few rounds for the 10 bore. Load: 10dram Swiss 1½Fg to a 985grain ball. Velocity: aprox 1700 ft/sec. It has been a few years agao since I have firerd that rifle and I had forgot how much a pack & whack this load does. It does get a little "bite" to the shoulder but nothing punishing. The rifle weighs 14ibs. This gun is also found in Cals borerifle book. http://vidmg.photobucket.com/a...ideo_zpsdqhpnra9.mp4 DRSS: HQ Scandinavia. Chapters in Sweden & Norway | ||

Thanks for posting this Jens. That 10 is sweet and 10 drams is a monster load.  Bob DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" "PS. To add a bit of Pappasonian philosophy: this single barrel stuff is just a passing fad. Bolt actions and single shots will fade away as did disco, the hula hoop, and bell-bottomed pants. Doubles will rule the world!" | |||

Thanks for this. It's great to see doubles in action and black powder adds to the experience. My only problem with the video is I could not quite understand the New York City accent! Cheers and post more.

Thanks Cal & Bob. next time I´ll promise an American accent with a Southern drawl  BTW: i am always surprised to see how clean these barrels are after 2x2 shots. Nothing like a .32-40Winchester(whatta mess)... DRSS: HQ Scandinavia. Chapters in Sweden & Norway | |||
