Kodiak double in .58

Heinrich · August 12, 2007, 03:40 PM

Acquired me a .58 Kodiak double.

Have had extensive work done on it. Barrels have been regulated, and shortened by 2 inches, and stock fitted to my length of pull. Reason for making the barrel shorter has been to balance it nearly perfectly.

I want to try a few other bullets out my Kodiak.

I think I want the 575-213 standard by Lyman, IF at all available the 577-30.

577-30 is an older mold by Lyman and is known as the Enfield Minie.

I promise a good report once we hit the range.

I shot it extensively Saturday, shot about 40 shots, with 440gr REAL's by LEE, and about 60 RB's patched with pillow ticking. Do not want to tell how much powder. Anyway the result is amazing, we managed to shoot 2 shots in rapid succession within less than 6 inches for the whole day. All shooting was also done offhand, and at 50m. With all my shooting, I only managed to miss one shot at the plate we were shooting at. All shooting was done using the front sight of the 2. I am considering to use the rear one to sight the gun in for 100m.
