I believe one would find the barrels regulated to a shorter distance. I am guessing they would be right on at 35 yards. I have a L.C. Smith that would win any shooting match one took it to with the left barrel. But at the 30 yard turkey shoot distance one had to shoot at the top right hand corner of the target to center the pattern. It would be right on at 40 yards.

The extra full chokes in the 12 VHE and 20 SW I believe in this case are working against me. But that is why one patterns guns, to see where they shoot. Of course I could also have pulled to the right. But I don't think so. I squeezed the triggers like a rifle shot from the Lead Sled.

With the Franchi and a single barrel with a rib parallel to the center of the bore, the pattern was dead center.
