John,

Thanks for the info. I am one that always thought that double rifles were regualeted to point of aim t 70 yds or so and that in fact would cross beyond that distance so that theoritically, at 150 yd the right would be 1.5" to left of the left barrel, still within a minute of an animal's sweet spot.

The doubles that I have shot seem to do well for 4 shots (2 per barrel) and then accuracy falls off somewhat util the barrels cool down.

The only comment I would make is to add the word "hundred" as follows: I regulated my 9.3x74R 286 gr load to b about 30 mm apart at one "HUNDRED" metres. With the scope attached.

This probably doesn't belong here but the front trigger on my Sempert & Krieghoff O/U fires the lower barrel. I always thought the front trigger fired the upper barrel. I found out mine shot that way when first shooting it. I only loaded the top barrel and no bng. Several trys without suggess, I loaded the bottom barrel and pulled the rear trigger and bang. Opening the gun, I found the top barrel had fired. Closing and pulling the front trigger, the rear barrel fired.

Is it set up that way because the lower barrel is more in line with the shoulder and therefore has less rise that it may be more accurate? Any thoughts?
