Waidmannsdank gentlemen,

Something of special note and that which I found to be a welcome confirmation was how well the left shot barrel grouped the slugs with relation to the rifle barrel. You may remember seeing this note from Kuduae (Axel) in another thread:

"... so a really good gun maker regulates a drilling this way: 1- the shot barrels have to shoot into a usable left-right shot pattern over the open top rib. 2- the rifle barrel and the left shot barrel should shoot both the bullet and the slug to the same poi at slug range, up to 50 meters, over the automatic open sight."

Though the practice targets shown where shot at closer to 40 yards than 50 the grouping was only a tad tighter than that of my 50 yard target days earlier. What is key to these results is to hold the drilling as we do our double rifles when shooting off a bench. In other words as you would off-hand but resting the back of your forend hand on whatever rest you're using. I'll be checking to see if my other drillings do the same.

Regards,

Mark
