Finally I have shot this double with reloads today and here are the results. All targets were shot at 50 metres off of sticks Velocities under each target.

Will load some more of the slower loads and shoot from a more solid rest next. Gerry | ||

That 71g 4350 groups great...Interesting that the one barrel is shooing higher than the other. Were you shoothing Left,Right, Left Right or LL, RR ****************************************************************** R.

Gerry, It seems obvious that the right barrel is not going to even be close to shooting parallel with the left. You might try a slower powder? You might try shooting the left barrel first? It might make a difference in the up and down group. Slower burning powders heat up the barrels differently than faster powders, and shooting the left barrel first can definately change the group, how? Give it a try.

Vertical stringing, especially when it's the right barrel pitching up like that, can be caused by an improper rest. Ditch the sticks and shoot from a bench. Hold the barrels in the leading hand and rest the back of the hand on sand bags. You can put your elbows down on top of the bench, but don't use any other support. -------------------------------------------------- "Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder." | |||

I agree with 400 Nitro. Shooting sticks do not provide a level or uniform surface for this kind of testing. Use a bench, then having found the load that has the barrels shooting where you want, test them on shooting sticks. peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||
