Edelweiss, lovely lioness. I hope to hunt lion before I die.

No offence, but "traditional" regulation? I'm waiting to hear from reputable gunmakers what other than the normal regulation methods exist and more importantly actually work.

I would guess some cheaper dr gun makers, ten barrel makers use a predetermined formula, lasets etc to set the barrels and any angle between them. I'm sure this is done for shotguns. Are shotgun barrels pre-shot before ribs are fixed? For rifle barrels more precision is needed than estimation/guesswork.

Cheaper drs such as Pedersolis, Baikals, are sometimes said to have regulation POI issues.

The Baikal dr in .45/70 has some sort of adjustable wedges as well. I've never checked mine out. I bought mine as an opportunistic buy at the right price at the right time. I'm thinking of incorporating it in my "Howdah" target shoot. I'm not sure what ammo it was regulated for, if any,

I read some Pedersolis aren't regulated at all? After a certain time, true? No idea. My ML BP .58 DR doesn't regulate with monies. But might do better with round balls. I'll have to use Daryl's data.

Absolutely NE is open to discussion, polite and constructive. As for me, I'm no expert. I'm "happy" to be proven wrong.

Have been more than once.n:)

I'll start a new thread on DRs and how they can be used, hopefully others joining in. They are NOT necessary just short range rifles. Which is btw one reason good regulation is needed. Otherwise we might just as well use side by side smooth bores.

On some forums the biggest threads are usually argument, name calling negative threads, I remember an ArabReloading thread at 67 pages, a lot of it abuse. I'm happy we don't have those here, I don't allow it.

Again no problems with disagreement and polite constructive debates and discussions. They can be educational and illustrative. With open minds anyone can learn.
