Dive,
I had the pleasure of handling a H&H, unfired, 12 bore double shotgun, Royal Grade last week, together with a John Rigby .404 double rifle. Both were being photographed at an old comrades studio. This was when the discussion about Hollands claim came up. I will try to get the photos and put them up here. The Rigby, although finely balanced was a real heavy cannon which I wouldnt like to try holding on target for much more than 5 seconds without a rest. It made my .375 feel like a Daisy Red Rider.
