Double barrel question, probably dumb!
« on: June 14, 2008, 08:28:12 AM »
In double rifles, barrels are regulated so that at some given range they hit about the same point of impact. Is this true with shotguns? If so what is that range?
thanks, Carl

The short ranges and spread of shot provide a significant overlap, so a small error in regulation in a double will often be too small to be noticed. Generally the shotguns are regulated to hit the point of aim at a given distance, usually the maximum expected range since that is the range at which a full choke would be used, and where precise regulation matters most.

Surprised you don't know that ....

Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
