Hi Jorge,
I'm glad to see the frenchies have made good job soldering the barrel and zeroing the double. Enjoy it and post pictures.
Many thanks

They did a wonderful job. The rifle fits me perfectly, the fit, finish and engraving are superb and it shoots as well as it looks! jorge

Very nice rifle, jorge, congratulations. It looks like you have a fine barrel regulation, one of the most significative on double.
Va t'in tch�re !

I've read this entire thread twice,now. Jorge getting himself one of the best is such a shocker.

I've only perused a couple pages of this 11 page thread. That said, in case someone forgot to tell Jorge . . . YOU SUCK 
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Congrats on your new DR jorge, I can sense the excitement in your posts. Been a long time coming but it doens't appear like you've wasted any time in wearing out those barrels!! Should do quite nicely on a couple of big ole cape buff bulls.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Thanks! here are some more test results. Look at the Woodleighs and how well they shot, albeit at considerably less velocity given the exact powder charge. Also the Hornady loads were offhand whilst the Woodleighs off the bench/ ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCTGT3.jpg)

Looks to me like the cape buffalo don't stand a chance against you Jorge. That's some good shooting sir! What distance were you shooting at?

Are you going to bump up the charge under the Woodleighs to get to 2150, or smugly stop with that outstanding regulation?:)

I'm going to definitively try and bump up the speed Jeff unless I get crossover. I think that super-tight group was a fluke as the other one's I've shot have been closer to what the regulation target showed. I'll report back this weekend. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCTGT1.jpg) Test target: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCTGT.jpg) And factory Hornady DGXs what the rifle is regulated with: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCHDY.jpg)

At 50 yds those two shots will make most anything pretty sick when you put them where you know they have to go. In fact at 100 they will only be twice that far apaart. Still pretty close

If you get your best regulation at 2060�, go with it. My Jeffery's regulates with Woodleighs and Hawks best at less than 2100 fps, but it was also regulated for the 55g cordite tropical load and not the 60g. One elephant and several cape buffalo never missed the extra 100 fps.
Nice shooting!
