I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of plinking with a 470 NE and 500gr bullets. I know, different kind of plinking but you have to admit, it does sound a little funny.
Loading for a double rifle is a whole different world than loading for a single barreled rifle. If the data from the maker sounds off it is a good ideal to double check with the maker to see what load he regulated the barrels with when he built the gun.The statement "we should train with what we operate with" goes completely out the window with a double rifle. Finding a light/plinking/training load that shoots to point of aim with both barrels is going to be a serious search unless you are going to practice with only one barrel, even then it will be tough to use the sights that the rifle came with.you might want to go here for help with 470 light loads.http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=4&page=1Good luck on your search.PS Remember that SS Savage action I bought from you years ago. I rebarrelled it with a 25-204 barrel I had built in 2004, great deer rifle spitting out 100gr Partitions a 2800 fps and 75gr at 3200 fps. It's headed to NV for 10 days of coyote hunting.
I've never shot one and don't plan to. In fact I had to use Google to even see what one looked like. I think this is a reduced load.
Yorke, if you could I'd love to see a pic of this thing. Doubtful I'll ever own one but they definitely peg the needle on the ole cool factor meter.
