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
