Carl Steigle double rifle

[Bill Murphy]

Edgar, I shot four of the 11.65x65 loaded shells you sent me to test. Apparently, they are good for the bore. I shot them at 50 yards and plan to get a better sighting situation with some gold lines and such. I am not "bore sighted" to 50 yard targets with these drilling sights. However, I sent three .44 caliber slugs downrange and put them in three holes at 50 yards, two in the same hole, and one two inches away. One flyer should be corrected by some work on the ten pound or more trigger on the right barrel. I have one 16 gauge slug that I will fire soon, out of the cylinder bore right barrel. After some modification of the sights, and the trigger pull, I may have a one hole shooter at 50 yards. The rifled slug pattern is to be studied when shot.

Bill,
what slug are you going to use?
