Well Poprivit. What I found today was that indeed the barrels do cross at about 20 yards. Using the factory regulated ammo at 100m I had the right barrel shooting 100mm high. The left barrel was shooting 130mm low and 40mm to the right of the POI of the right barrel. The right barrel shoots POI at 200m but I run out of ammo to see where the left barrel shot at 200m. My guess it may even be off target. I know this probably good enough for a standard hunt, but he's keen to use it for sambar hunting where I know he may have to shoot 250m with it and I wanted the right barrel to be at least good for that.

Also very interesting was that some neck sized reloads which I confirmed shot to the same poi as the RWS 300gr factory loads would chamber in the right barrel but not in the left. So I've told my mate to make sure its all FLS.

So where do we go from here? Well I can't adjust the vertical I don't think but he's keen to reduce the stress in the wedge and get the barrels crossing closer to 100m. I'm not sure if this is possible and he's wondering if it may also bring the barrels down closer together. The reload that shot the same was 64gr of 2208 with a 270gr Woodleigh which is far cheaper than the RWS factory ammo.

We'll see how we go again in a couple of weeks.

cheers
