Since there seems to be some doubt about the lasers, I had to prove it to myself. I took the 20 SW that shot always to the right at 40 yards, and put the gun in the Lead Sled and inserted the laser. Sure enough the laser indicated it would shoot as it did, way off to the right. I also did the right modified barrel. Both were high but I would expect that to allow for the shot charge to drop at that distance. The laser was true in this case.

So my guess is these 20 gauge SW barrels are regulated to a shorter distance and the axis of the bores will cross perhaps at 30 yards. I can live with that because truly the 20 should be a 30 yard gun and I was stretching its capabilities with TSS. The ones I need to worry about and is why I cannot hit with them are perhaps those that are shooting as indicated by the lasers, low.

It may also explain why when I get a new double I can hit every clay bird with one barrel but with the same gun miss every bird with the other barrel, no matter at what distance I shoot them.
