I could see the muzzles of the professional's double rifle coming up, and said "I've got him" and fired the third shot. As I recovered from the recoil and aimed again, the Cape Buffalo was falling head over heels into the long grass. This was the trip of a lifetime, and I had just shot my first Cape Buffalo with my English Double Rifle,' a Hellis 450/400-31/4" nitro express. The English Double Rifle is one of the guns that when you see one, conjures up images of Africa and dan- gerous game. There is a romance associated with the Double Rifle of the "Great White Hunter" saving his client's life with a well-placed shot at a matter of feet. their trips and experiences.

    thing less for the purpose of a "field test" to me is ludicrous-to say nothing of straining you readers' limits of credibility. I just can see it in print now: "The .550 Gastro double really did the deed on the forkhorn. Didn't even need the secQnd barrel." Yuuukk! As much time and effort as I put into my rifles, they're real dogs when it comes to intrinsic value. And as I stated in last month's article on my definition of a "cus­ tom rifle", there's not a personal hunting rifle of mine that can't be replaced or dupli­ cated for six hundred bucks, plus whatev­ er the scope and mounts cost. Air travel-wise I have been fortunate in that I've never had a single rifle fail to arrive, eventually, at the same place I did in time for me to use on my hunt. And all of them reached my home afterwards-eventually. But I have trav­ eled with and met in the course of some 115 hunting trips to many parts of the globe, dozens of people who have had their gun(s) lost in transit. Some of them turned up after a while and some didn't. Who knows, maybe the reason my rifles have never disappeared is because they look so ratty no one thought they were worth the effort and risk. In any event, the thought of having to worry about a rifle that's worth more than I am, dead or alive, is something I don't need when I'm traveling.

    Rifles Part II. Breech-Loading and Metal Cartridges Breechloaders Since the dawn of black powder, gunmakers have explored ways of loading firearms from the opposite—and significantly closer!—end of the barrel. Hinged breeches, loading gates, and detachable chambers date back to the matchlock period, and even Henry VIII owned a few guns loaded in a manner not unlike a “Trapdoor” Springfield. However, such experimental firearms were prohibitively expensive, and never achieved anything more than novelty status among the wealthy. It was not until the nineteenth century that improvements in engineering techniques and ammunition types made breech-loading firearms a viable alternative to muzzle-loaders. A New Age In the early1860s, breech-loading firearms finally began to supplant muzzle-loaders. While the difference may appear minor—the rifle is loaded from the rear of the barrel, rather than the muzzle—the implications are enormous. Faster to reload, requiring less auxiliary equipment, and easier to clean, breech-loading rifles could achieve significantly higher rates of fire—up to ten rounds a minute in the hands of an experience shooter! They can also be reloaded from a prone or sitting position. The trade-off comes with an increase in complexity, as breech-loaders require some form of mechanical “action” to open the breech, expose the chamber, and reseal the breech. Most breech-loaders are classified by the system used to accomplish this process, which usually involves the movements of the “breechblock,” the metal component which physically seals the breech-end of the barrel and permits the rifle to be fired safely. Merrill Carbine with the breechblock opened, 1858–1861 COPYRIGHT 2018 BY A.

  • Safari Rifles II the Author with His Botswana Elephant, Taken in April 2008
    Safari Rifles II The author with his Botswana elephant, taken in April 2008. Safari Rifles II Doubles, Magazine Rifles, and Cartridges for African Hunting by Craig T. Boddington Safari Press CAUTION! Common sense needs to be used when handling and discharging a firearm. Keep the following principles of safety in mind so as to provide a safe environment for everyone: 1) Always point a firearm in a safe direction. 2) Never point a firearm at another person. 3) Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. 4) Wear eye and hearing protection at all times when handling firearms. Do not attempt to handload your own ammunition using the bullet velocities and or loads listed on these pages. Your firearm may not be able to withstand the pressures generated by the loads and velocities listed in this book. If you aren’t sure about your gun, consult a competent gunsmith. The handloading of ammunition and the discharging of a firearm should never be attempted without the supervision of an adult experienced in both handloading and firearms. Do not attempt to handload ammunition without knowing how to read signs of (excessive) pressure in both guns and ammunition. SAFARI RIFLES II © 2009 by Craig T. Boddington.
