While you might be onto something I don’t think I’d remmember while hunting to sight down a particular barrel and besides they’re supposed to be regulated to cross at some point . I dunno if masking tape will work on roundballs I’ve only done that with slugs . I have however seen some roundballs Ross Seyfried had paper patched for a rifled 8 bore double .

The 000000 I cast the other day I decided to roll between two pieces of steel today to kinda round out the spruce area . So while at the shop today I rolled about half of what I cast . When I got home I loaded two rounds with International Clays and six pellets with buffer . And shortly I shot one from the right and one from the left at 30 yards . BOTH barrels tightened up the pattern noticeably although POI was a touch left of POA . When I got back in the house I loaded two more for Damage Control Tuesday evening !
