Somewhere I read that cartridges in doubles are not perfectly perpendicular to the standing breech and that this can cause trouble when reloaded and rechambered. Any thoughts, anyone?

Don't believe everything you read!

The barrel-group should have parallel chambers, perpendicular to the breech-face, and the tubes should curve inwards at some point well forward of the chambers. xs hints at this in his post. A pair of barrels will rarely, if ever, have straight-tapered converging bore centre-lines all the way from the breech-face, although in the 150 years of cartridge double guns across several continents, anything is possible!
