    Can't really see the purpose in a sporting double rifle.
    Two 550 grain balls hitting the same place at 50m seems pretty useful.

    The army seemed to think their soldiers could hit a man at 1200 yards ( well they often put sights on to that far ) but their hit rate would be very low.

    In a sporting double with a rainbow trajectory being able to hit a dinner plate ( or something to go on a dinner plate ) at 100 yards with both barrels is more than enough.

    With the Tanner mould I should be able to increase velocity and flatten the rainbow a little
