My guess is the rifle will want a larger diameter

In the mean time, I have located 2 more examples of double rifles with straight stock.... First is a Spanish Arrieta in 8x57JRS, beautifully made ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/sDgdKQrT/4ec47b4e-5778-4057-a4eb-cf695754a70c.jpg) Second, is also a Spanish double with unknown brand. In 8x57JRS caliber ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zBcrmq8Y/600h600f-00001-Express-Artisan-Espagnol-Platines-8x57-jrs.jpg) It is in a french website: https://www.naturabuy.fr/Express-Artisan-Espagnol-Platines-8x57-jrs-item-13217484.htmlHope someone else can share more interesting photos of similar doubles with straight stock.

SKB, A more careful measurement of the Lancaster bore shows a small diameter of .493" and a large .507". Could you recommend a bullet size to accommodate these dimensions?

The twist of these barrels seems to be about one turn in ninety inches, maybe it's made to shoot round balls??

You sure could try, with twist that slow it has to be rb or a very short conical. A tight fitting rb should be easy enough to source.
