If individual barrel groups are crossing it indicates too high velocity or too light a bullet. Increasing the velocity will only make the barrels cross more. Wade is going the right way, but it sounds like R15 is not for his rifle.

ABSOLUTELY! And I agree RL 15 may not be the right powder for his rifle.

The bullets are not staying in the barrel too long enough, hence the crossing! If the barrels cross, the speed is too high,and will usually be low! if they shoot apart, with the right barrel shooting on the RIGHT, and the left barrel shooting on the LEFT, and usually high, then the load is too slow!

The above is a general rule as there are some doubles that simply do not follow the rules. Then it is simply a JOB in the offing for the loader, finding the proper load!
