Anybody have experience with reloading for double rifles

[rxgremlin]

The title says it all. The only way that I can afford to feed my .470 Nitro Express is
by learning to reload for it. Anybody in the Metro area reload for their double?

Thanks

Lots of crimp is your friend.

I load for a 375 JRS.

Is there a round you are NOT reloading for hoser? I had to go to the Googly Box to even see what a 375 JRS is. What are you running that beast in? 10" Encore??

I had a Westley Richards in .303. Was not to hard to regulate it. If I had a big bore like yours I would buy a mold and cast my own bullets. Consider paper patched if you can find a suitable mold. Making your own bullets will enable you to control your supply.

I have the attention span of a goldfish.

I am running it in a Remington 700 Safari.

Remington 700s aren't double rifles.

Supply isn't my issue. I can get cast bullets, Woodleighs, Barnes and Hornady. It is developing loads for both practice and hunting that will regulate.

Its been thirty odd years, but I recall weight was more of a factor then velocity for regulating the barrels.

Your 100% correct. My advice on crimping heavy kicking calibers can not apply to double rifle calibers...

Loading for a double should be easier than for a bolt, lever or certainly any semi-auto. Should be really REALLY easy to case gauge (just drop it in and look at it), don't have to worry about feeding, etc.
