Re: Butch Searcy's double rifles

In reply to:
The test target that came with the gun had two holes 3cm apart at 50m I'm told that the bullets cross at 75m and it should print about the same at 100m.
bonanza, it would be unlikely that a double which is shooting 3cm apart at 50m would cross at 75m.
If a double did do that, it would mean that it was not shooting correctly for one of several reasons.
Maybe the load is not right or the gun is not being held right or the barrel regulation is not right.
Any double that is crossing its shots at 75m is not shooting properly.
In reply to:
Question, should I let the gun cool down between sets.
Try it and see.
I don't worry too much about barrel heat for 4 to 6 shots. (3 from each barrel)
If, due to barrel heat , a double lost its accuracy after only 2 shots, it would not be much of a rifle IMO.
