Well, I did give it to JJ to see if he can figure out what's going on. I'd shot 2 or 3 rounds of skeet with it when it started to double on me. Thought it might have been the Herter's loads. Switched to RST 3/4 oz, still doubled. And it's certainly not due to light trigger pulls. In fact, I asked JJ to lighten them up a bit--they're currently at 5+ and 7+ on a sub-6# gun--once he's determined why it's doubling. He said that's very unusual for a Darne. Leave it to me to find the unusual one--when it's one that fits, is in nice shape, and might have convinced me that I can live with a Darne.
