    It is not a target rifle and got the gun shooting.
    Also after more than 40 years of shooting it David pointed out several features I had never noticed before such as the fact that left and right barrels had left and right twist damascus and the twist in the barrel mirrored each other at the muzzle.
    my apolagies if I have caused offence..... when looking at these large projectiles I cant help but think of the black cloud shotgun loads that made a revolutionary change to bird shot by putting a ring like saturn has around round shot to make it cut better and fly crooked,opening patterns LOL,,,( insert something about reinventing the wheel here) your tone would suggest you had a hand in making that mould???? maybe you could restore faith by doing so again and making next one a flyturn larger??? now the "shrinking qualities of purelead" was mentioned in calculations..my warped brain doth wonder if something with slightly less or more shrinkage inclined ,may indeed make one or tother indeed much closer to ideal...climate change does induce much shrinkage to certain appendages on these frosty morings
