FOXFIRE, I just read your post on the multi barrel sets string, and now realize you are shooting a rifle that was converted from right hand to left hand. With that in mind, were the triggers reversed as well? Also are you fireing the left barrel first? And finally, are you resting the rifle dirrectly on the sand bags or are you holding it in your hands as you would when shooting off hand?

These questions are important, because, the fireing of a right handed rifle with the left barrel first, will sometimes destroy regulation. A double rifle resting on anything other than you hand, and shoulder will not show proper regulation. A double rifle absolutely must be allowed to recoil as if you were shooting off hand, because the recoil arc is what determines the point of empact on the target for a given bullet speed. Some times, the re-stocking of a right handed double to left hand will require re-regulateing as well. Still, the difference between the POE between the barrels is not enough to worry about for hunting, if the group is at 50 yds or more. However, if I understood your post in the other string, you were shooting at 25yds, that is a zebra of a different stripe. you need to try your rifle at 50, and 100 yds befor doing anything else!

Try a 4 shot group from cool barrels, with a rt,lft,rt,lft, and plot each shot as to where they hit the target, then see what the composit group is! If this composit group is under 3", and is on the sights it is shooting fine. A little judicious load work may tighten this up some, but 3" is fine for hunting. That is about as close a most of us can hold, off hand!
