Well I have fired nearly one hundred rounds through the rifle now and it is very intersting process regulating the loads. At the range yesterday with various loads for testing ranging from 250 grains Ballistic tips, 250 grain woodleighs, 270 grain speers and 286 grain RWS. All loaded with 2209.

First to go were the RWS. Vertical stringing 15". two shots from each barrel. each barrel group it's 2 shots into 1 1/2 inches. The Bottom Barrel shot the high group and the top barrel shot the low group. All shooting at 50 yards. Now if I understand this correctly, that should indicate to much velocity. BUT

The next load had 1/2 grain more 2209, this group was 9" verticle. Bottom barrel still high and the top barrel low. Both barrels group it's 2 shots very well.

250 grain BT. right on the money at 50 yards 2 3/4 for four shots. Agood composite group.

250 grain woodleighs, 5".

270 grains speers. 8" vertical spread, each barrel grouping it's 2 shots into 1 1/2. But again the top barrael shooting the low group and the bottom barrel shooting the top group.

I have just finished reading Wrights book on shooting the English double rifle (mine is a Russian).
The only difference with mine is it has a regulating device between the barrels and I decided to try it. Moving the screwnut 3 clicks anti clock wise the next four 270 grain speers went into 3" at fifty yards. The damn thing actually worked. I then ran out of reloaded ammunition.

RWS factory loads were then used with the best group of four shots going into 1 1/2 at fifty yards and that is about as good as these old eyes can do with open sites.

I have found this gun to be a very solid gun and I have not any hiccups yet.(not expecting any). Next week it goes into have the triggers tuned up, and a scope rail fitted. The rifle is easy to use comes to the shoulder and swings nicely. I am looking forward to more testing with the scope on. For a entry level DR Ithink it is a good thing and a great calibre that 9.3x74R.
