four bore Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 HI OLD FARRIER THEY ARE GREAT TO USE AND VERY EFFECTIVE. THEIR IS 27.34 GRAINS = 1DRAM. 437 GRAINS = 1 OZ. I TEND TO USE THE TERM DRA M OR DRAMS, ITS BEEN USED FOR A LOT OF YEARS. [ TRADITIONAL IN MY EYES. ] A LOT OF PEOPLE USE THE TERM GRAIN OR GRAINS, MORE SO NOW A DAYS ESPECIALLY THE RIFLE AND PISTOL MEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double four Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 HI DOUBLE FOUR ITS A JOHN WIGGINS BIRMINGHAM, 38 INCH BARRELS WEIGHS ABOUT 13 POUNDS. Nice, I used to own and shoot a W Moore double four m/l it was a bit heavier 16lb like you say you can get very good results from the m/loaders. Probably have some photos of it somewhere if you want to have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
