Many thanks Marc - appreciated. Is the article about locks/big bores etc as intrigued/excited about the use of the picture. And yes, I do have an e-mail into Dig smile

By way of update on the beast, it is currently up with a specialist having its chambers precisely measured for brass cases to be made. Also getting some hand-loading tools made up for it to then teach myself the black art of homeloading. Making brass seems a very precise science and I am keen to get started!

If anyone else is interested in big bores, check out this mini-video of Watson Bros new double 4 bore. Magnificent.
