Marrakai! That is exactly what I was thinking, too: This double sure puts the 607 grainers consistently! wow!

Daryl---The Brenneke (heavier slug) was putting them essentially where the Fiocchi (lighter slug). Too close to differentiate with the tetsing so far. However, the Fiocchi and nearly 100 fps FASTER, too. So, I am not sure why they are essentially making a ragged hole with BOTH barrels with BOTH slug types. (FYI---Both are DG slugs).

I am getting slower slugs shipped in from starsandstripes (about 100 - 200 fps slower) and I am also getting the gear in so I can load my own. I picked up the powder last night. And have some load recipes that are slower.... however, I like the faster fps rounds which should give me more of an edge against dangerous game... so would love to get these barrels to come together at 50 yards rather than cross so severely at 50 yards using 1560 fps DG slugs.

I really like this double gun. I was shooting the Fiocchi DG slugs again this AM before work. I am so impressed with the RECOIL REDUCTION. This gun is NOW so comfortable to shoot... yes you know you are shooting a small cannon, but it definietly pushes rather than whacks, which is what it did to some degree BEFORE the reduction measures. The rounds I shot this AM grouped just as well as Saturday. I am digging this doubleslugger!

Oh well, but I am off on another business trip so won't be making any improvements for a week or so.... however any more ideas, or someone who knows how to make the improvements suggested it would be appreciated.
