I have a question about holding a double rifle in a canted position And if it affects impact between the two barrels being regulated.... ?
Reason I'm asking is my Baikal sxs started shooting low right barrel last few times I shot her and my pops was watching me shoot and said I wasn't holding her level on the sticks , so I thought sure easy fix reloaded and held her flat as I could .... Still shooting 2" lower , darn near held her on her side it seemed (probably at a healthy 45* honestly) and to my dumbfounded surprise they still impacted almost identical... Now I think I've gone mad and before I got tweaking on the barrels is there something I'm missing ? I'm new to sxs rifles and this being a cheap rendition although fun to shoot I'm wondering if somethings off
All my loads are same brass, same , powder etc etc ... I even tried another load I worked up and same effect just more exaggerated with slower power level , then I tried jacketed vs lead and still same thing
I would have sworn holding the rifle canted position would have effected it too but I think I don't understand the physics
