NE450No2,
Well I took the day off. We had snow on the ground and it's cold as heck, but I wanted to shoot my new double today. Off to the indoor 25 yard range. I know it's not a good example but I wanted to shoot it.

The 7x65R first. I don't yet have the same ammo as the factory sighted in with but I had to try what I had. 5 rounds from the right barrel in 5/8" and 5 from the left in 1 1/2" total between the 2 barrels 2 1/2". I hope to close them up with other ammo. This set of barrels is scoped. Also at 25 yards the left barrel crossed the right barrel. I ordered the proper ammo and another test will be soon.

The 9.3x74R is the sweetest shooting set of barrels and caliber yet. 4 rounds from the right barrel in 5/8" all touching and 4 from the left barrel in 3/4" all touching between the 2 barrels 1 1/4". This was the proper ammo for this set of barrels. This is also a scoped set of barrels. This one impressed me.

The 470 NE. open sights. The first 2 shots don't count. I've never fired a 470 so I had my eyes closed.

2 from the left barrel 2 from the right barrel open sights from the bench. All four rounds in 2". I had the proper ammo and on this one the barrels didn't come close to crossing.

I had the mercury Breako installed when the stock was changed. The 7x65R and the 9.3x74R were both a pleasure to shoot. The 470 was not as bad as expected and I was able to shoot it well for sighting in purposes.
