    HS is the best powder I have used so far - burns cleaner than Swiss or the Curtis's and Harvey No6.

    hopefully the 2fg cartridge will shoot well too.

    Mine is a Westley Richards 1871 retailed by John Dickson & Son, Edinburgh.

    This load kicks - don't shoot it prone!
    @Crusty the CBE looks ideal for the #2
    I hadn't considered that option

    The BACO 510 300 just seems a bit light

    Are you aiming for 1700 to 1800 fps to regulate your double ?

    Mine is a single shot - "Improved Martini" action Westley Richards.

    Original loads were up around 1900fps
