You should rest the forend on your hand with a double rifle, they are a different world...Sounds like your gun needs to be re-regulated for that load...It is probably regulated for 108 grs of IMR-5831 or ?????

I sure would not use it in Africa as is, that is for sure a good way to bite the big one...

I have talked to a lot of Searcy owners, and I shoot one myself and they all shoot exceeding well and much better than the average British rifle..

I have owned a lot of British double rifles, most shot about 3 or 4 inches and a few shot an inch or a little more (2 out of about 13 shot under 2 inches to be exact)..It is considered OK by many experts that 4" is an acceptable group from a double, thus the "minute of Grapefruit", often quoted...that is not exceptable for me because I might just want to shoot something coming my way in the eye and if its got a 4" eye, I really am in trouble, and on a different planet..

A bolt gun on the average is much more accurate than any double rifle, and a really accurate bolt gun is more accurate than any double rifle at any range..Bolt guns own the veld until the yards get this side of 25, then the double is boss of the vuga...I love them both, but I know the limitations of both and never the twain shall meet.

TAKE NOTE:"
If you want to know how well your gun will shoot then shoot several groups with each individual barrel..The gun is going to regulate only as well as the WORST barrel will group....
