I will load 4 cartridges for each load. I will shoot 2 cartridges in each barrel I will use 2 targets, one for right and the otyher fopr left barrel.

This allows me to see
1. how accurate each barrel is with that load and
2. how well the rifle regulates by comparing the two targets.

When I shot at one target, it is easy to confuse which hole is from which barrel.





Thanks for your reply.

Good point. I'd forgotten about using two targets. Simple. Smart. Shoot the right barrel on the right target. Left barrel on the left barrel.

Using clear plastic overlays allow a composite target to be quickly created.

If one wishes to wait for a short period before firing the second two cartridges, one can mark the targets if desired.

I wonder which is better and why?

Test regulation cartridges by:

1. Shooting Right, Left. Reload barrels, repeat. Only a small gap between the two sets of two cartridges. This simulates say shooting a buffalo, multiple shots required. Or eg the BGRC Competition shooting. Two rounds, repeat. Four in total. The regulation effect is first shot from cool barrels. Second shot from a set of barrels with one warm barrel. Next two shots from wArmer barrels.

2. Shoot Right and Left. Let the barrels cool a little . Repeat.

This might be better to determine initial regulation loads. If they work ok. Then try shooting four cartridges as per 1. to see if warmed barrels adversely affect groups/regulation.

Gentlemen, what do you do? Contribute your knowledge, experiences, techniques, please.
