Re: Regulation loads for double rifles

851c, the information you are providing is I believe exactly what John was hoping to get by starting this thread.
Like many I started shooting single shots when I returned from Vietnam in 1972. And then more recently my 450 BPE double. Way fun. Thanks for your comments.
I'm looking for alternative methodologies, procedures and why. Practical ideas for forums users.
I.must reread Graeme Wright's relevant chapter though.

In checking how a rifle regulates, I load both barrels before shooting the right barrel. I believe it is important to have the weight of the loaded cartridge in the left barrel.
Could well make a difference. That small bit of weight. I suppose depending on overall weight?
I know Heym told mebthey regulate for open sights or reflex dot point or specific scope. The differences can make regulation differences. One only might know if one tries.

Most double rifles that I have shot will shoot differently when the barrels warm up. Also most double rifles shoot differently (for me) depending how they are held and sometimes "misbehave" when shot off the bench.
Yes. Again at Heym, I think a seven second interval between barrels shot was their regulation standard. Different warming of the barrels, different result.
In the field, one isn't so exactly!
Thanks for the reply
