I am currently rereading , "The Green Hills Of Africa." It is interesting that Hemmingway seems to dislike his double, and only carries it when he really, really has to. He seems to prefer his Springfield, even for rhino. I just read about his 300 yard shot on a running hino with the Springfield. That seems like a pretty big stretch, to me, but it's his story.
I had not noticed that he disliked his double the last time I read this book. He complains that it feels 'heavy and unfamiliar' and had a trigger that was like metal struck metal. He talks of flinching and jerking the trigger. This all surprised me, as I remembered him waxing about his double. That happens when your mind gets cluttered with too much pulp fiction.
