Tpr.1919Loading data for double rifle
Do any of you gentleman have loading data for a double rifle chambered for 500-450 3/4 NE. I checked my A-Square Manuel, P. van der Walt's Dangerous Game Cartridges Book and Cartridges of the World and have not found any data for this caliber.

Ignore the red markings; that is for me.
Note 1 says to use foam or Dacron filler.
