Regulating medium bore doubles?

PeterRegulating medium bore doubles?
Ok I have a 9.3x74R Tikka 512. How do I "regulate" it and at what range? I have 2 big bore doubles and have tailored loads which group both barrels within 2" at 50 yards, and to point of aim. So, with a scoped O/U double is there anything different. It seems to me that there might be. First, the lower barrel may be adjustable, but my thought was to leave this as a last resort. So, should I tailor loads the same way as for a S/S double, and then see what happens at 100? I need some help here, as, from what I have read, this caliber should be at least 100 yard gun. What size groups would be acceptable at 100? etc. etc. Obviously with the scope, the impact/aimpoint can be adjusted easily. I am more concerned about typical acuracy levels with this caliber in a double, and the quickest way of getting there.
BTW. I like to consider the aesthetics of various loaded rounds. The Loaded 9.3x74R has got to be one of the best looking rounds around!
Thanks, Peter.
PS. I used the term "regulate" as a shorthand for "develop loads". Also, I have read that the lower barrel may be adjustable but have no clue as to how to do it. No manual came with the (used) gun.
