That's what I found, Martin. Forsyth knew what he was talking about. My Kodiak .58 crossed badly (1 1/2" at 50 yards) with a light 3 dram charge, but with heavier loads at 4 & 4 1/2 drams, uncrossed to shoot parallel.
Even with the lighter charge, I was easily able to ring the 90 to 110 yard targets with lefts and rights. The X ring on a target that's 14" wide is a big one - easily the kill zone on an elk or moose. With the heavy charges, much smaller targets are easily hit at the longer ranges & this with a gun that received no regulation by the manufacturer - merely joining the barrels and selling it.
