With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

Congratulations, she looks like a winner. Please take photo of the top lever works and foresight and proof marks for us double rifle lovers. The rifle you have and many others like it were the fail safe work horses of the bush in Africa and India.
Even though the barrels have been re-blacked the engraving is till sharp, are the barrel bores in similar good condition.
The Westley's and Jefferies DR made for Lyon are sought after.
Consider if you should shoot solid projectiles through the barrels, until you are certain that the barrels can tolerate the "stretch"
Kindest Regards; Stephen

Congrats on a true working double. I would listen to Bushveld concerning the solid. You may want to try CEB #13's solids as they worked perfect in my .450.

I found “Shooting the British Double Rifle” by Graeme Wright is a must for understanding loading and shooting double rifles. It contains a good discussion of solids.
