Great! Thank you for the update.
One thing I might add is you might experiment with your course of fire. For double rifles I normally load both barrels and then shoot right and left quickly. Then reload both, continue etc. for either a 4 shot or 6 shot group all in quick succession (about 1-2 minutes). Rather than breaking open you gun to re-load between barrels I find this helps with keeping the sight picture with express sites. Also I think shooting both barrels in quick succession is more how these are designed in terms of regulation (but I could be wrong).
Then I let the barrels cool at least 15-30 minutes depending on the heat of the day. From all I've read (including a good number of 19th century writers and gun makers) that is pretty close to how they were expected to shoot. Actually with express rifles they often shot 10 shot groups or "squares" in quick succession in the 1880s.
