If I read your legend correctly it looks like R1 & L1 crossed And R2 & L2 did not. Did you clean the bores after the first round or did you just reload and shoot the second string. I would not discount 1f powder if you have any. From what I have read the rounded groves in your bore where there to reduce powder fowling. JMHO 1F may be more suited to that style rifling.




That is the way I see it as well, Wayne.

I would likely stay with 2F GOEX, or switch to 1 1/2F Swiss.
I would increase 5 to 10 grs for the first test - like 3 1/2 drams. (95gr.)

This should unfold them and may even bring the tubes together for elevation. That is what my .58 SxS did.

Due to not needing long range accuracy, I stuck with a load that shot both tubes into the same group at 50 meters, thus as 100 meters, they shot "about" 1" apart(bore axis apart), same as they would if shooting parallel at 50yards.

Experimentation is fun - nice rifle!!!!!!!!!!
