Does your experience invalidate my thinking ? No and Yes !!!
I fully understand how doubles are regulated (ie made and then barrels regulated by the methos you say).
I wouldn't say that it can "substantially improve barrel regulation".
Wha I would say (and did in my previous post) is reposted below:-
"I have a couple of Double rifles that shot WELL WITHIN ACCEPTABLE EXPECTATIONS Once I had them shooting, I DECIDED TO PLAY with the Bullet seating depth that of course affects the COL.
I found that I could improve the accuracy even more of some of the Double Rifles."
What this meant is that instead of 1.5 - 2" apart, I found that some of the rifles came together really close - 1". Nothing else changed.
I will comment however that I am NOT talking about 1 - 2 thou difference in bullet seating depth but more like 4 - 6 thou - it partly depended on where the rifling started.
It obviously affected barrel time but I just found the "sweet spot" !!!
On the other hand, I hav other double rifles that shoot the same with 4 - 6 grains of powder difference (500 Nitro's being a good example).
