[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1703091, member: 2736"] Look for a powder that is 98+% to slightly compressed And that has a max pressure of 40,000 PSI (The old doubles were relatively low pressure and were normally less than 40,000 psi) H 4831 is a good choice for the big bores like the 470 and will be very liner when loading. 400 to 500 grain round nose bullets are recommended and even some of the spritzers. Use the primary barrel to work up the best load and then shoot the secondary barrel to locate the POI for it. Very few will be regulated to hit the same place but at some distance they will converge. (Nice to know where). the point of doing it this way is to have the sites set for the first shot and the follow up shot will be close no matter the distance. Also don't over compress the loads because they will swell and might not chamber in a pinch. I recommend before doing a dangerous game hunt that you try every round in the chamber to cull any that won't chamber with ease. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
