Thank you everyone for all the helpful load recommendations. I'm still moving forward with the project trying to figure out my own load, considering my hunt is in July I'm not going to do anything drastic such as re-regulation at this point. Here is a promising target with RL15 93.5 grains...

Just for the record the importer has fired the rifle and found success with 91 and 92 grains of RL15 running the Woodleigh solids, I however cannot get the same load to even reach the same velocities his tests showed. Possibly if I can get to his velocity with the RL15 the problem with...

This is a new 3" rifle, it was built to my dimensions from the importers fitting measurements for what its worth. Just mean to say I believe it is a good fit for me. The regulating load for this rifle is Hornady, but it isn't off the shelf dangerous game version. The gun was regulated with a...

I do want to add a note regarding my bench shooting statement above, I know this is a sore subject that invokes a lot of different opinions. When I refer to shooting from a bench I never used any sort of sled, and no part of the gun is in contact with anything other than my hands and my...

I've actually spoke to Ken a couple times about the gun, and I'm giving it some serious consideration allowing him to take the gun and sort this out. We actually spoke this morning regarding the gun. I went to the range today and here are some targets using RL15 and Woodleigh 570 grain solids...

Thank you for uploading that load data, some of those I already had, but there are some others that will be nice to add to my data.

I think you might be misunderstanding my targets. I hang two targets up at 50 yards so I don't confuse which bullet impacted which location on the target. Shots are fired in strings, right then left, the referenced target 8 shots (four strings of right then left) with time to cool in between...

Good example of what I mean, good groups, not bad if you overlap the two targets, but they are crossed.

All groups are being shot at 50 yards, I'll try to upload some pictures of targets recently shot to show the issue.

I've got some groups that are well within 2" for 4 shots from both barrels, however they are crossed. I get what your saying, I often argue with myself what does it matter which barrel it came out of if the point of impacts are relatively tight. Would an elephant be any less dead from a bullet...

When shooting from sticks I always have my hand in contact with the sticks not the rifle, meaning the back of my left hand is the only thing resting on the V of the sticks. Typically if I'm shooting at the same paper, I'll use a buddy to spot the impacts, when testing alone I've been doing...

Most of my loads to this point have been with RL15, and all with 570 grain bullets, the 570 grain bullets seem to be the most readily available. I have tried traditional solids and some of the monolithic solids as well, I'm experiencing crossing results with all. I'm trying to systematically...

Thank You for the advice, I'll dig through my emails and see if I still have his contact info. I completely get what your saying regarding overall group size and relative shooting distance, I think more than anything it bothers me if the rifle is indeed crossing. While shooting today I was...

I've had the pleasure of working with Ken once before, but my understanding is that he is no longer doing this type of work. Does anyone know for sure if he is or isn't?

Hi, I've got a new .500 double that I'm having a hard time getting a load that doesn't cross. I've owned other doubles in the past up to .470, and I've never had such a hard time getting a double rifle to uncross. Before I make the assumption its a regulation issue I want to rule out the...
