    May I ask what caliber your rifle is chamber for? Maybe see some photos of it? I ask because the only double rifle I've ever seen up close was some HUGE elephant gun. Loaded rounds looked like a roll of pennies on top of a brass case. My memory plays tricks on me every now and then. But I want to think the guy in the gun store said it was a 610 Nitro Express...? This was back in the 1970s. Please excuse me if I'm mistaken.

    When I clicked on the image to bring up a larger image all I see is a bunch of adds to try to close out. Lengthy down loading time and still no photos. Think I will run my AV.

    Very nice PC coating there but you have some wicked skirts to deal with.

    They look to be GC bullets which means the skirts would be hidden under the GCs or if shot as is, any bare spots that developed during sizing won't be touching the barrel anyway

    course 71 year old eyes are doing the looking

    Those are some really pretty boolits. Are these Spray Coated ? Or were these of the Shake & Bake varity ? Coating looks extremely uniform..

    I was thinking that if those checks weren't already in place...well, it might be a problem!

    Looking at the picture of your boolits, it appears the bases are not powder coated. Is that true? Also, how did you build your double rifle, where did you get your components? Or did you machine them yourself?

    the bullets will have a gascheck when finished
    i built this att the swedish gunsmithing school 2002 - 2003
    the action is from a BRNO 16gauge sidelock shotgun
    the rest i had to make to get it to fit
    i´ve had it as a .444 Marlin upp untill now. thought it was time for a change

    Nice bullets. Very crisp edges to the grooves. Do you use any kind of mold release?

    Well every one of the photos looks impressive. Looks like something I would have liked to shoot 40 or 45 years ago. Congratulations.
