I have a new Merkel Double in 30-06 thats shooting groups to the right with the left barrel every shot near or faraway everytime.The factory target showed it was tested at factory with the 180gr.rws tug german bullet.All 180gr. ammo i have tried from remington,federal,have shot 5-6inches low.I tried the 165gr in the federal & remington and got within 1-2 in.low.at 35-50 yrds.
But still shoot to the right with my left barrel.I hit 4-6 inches to the right at 100yards.The right barrel is centered ok but 1-2in.low.Is this common for new shooters to the double rifle& I just need to test more kinds of ammo?Do some barrels shoot off side a little?The rifle is new & Iam just trying to get the favorite load for it.Any suggestions on bullet weight or type?Close range 35 yrds shooting 2in.group with 165grtrophy bond.Also iam holding dead on with the factory german square sights.So far shot 100 rounds.Could one barrel favor a different weight american round than the other?Will she shoot like this wild to the right,cause shes not broken in yet?Anyone had one barrel shoot so much different than the other?I got the best group so far with the trophy bonded 165gr. federal load .Would the 220gr ammo shoot even lower & more to the right??Also this is my first post & Iam Glad to be a new member of such a fine group of gentlemen!!!
I have got the double rifle bug fever forever!!!SALUTE!!!
