    I've got a better idea. If it's (as it appears to be) lower than 3 pounds loading, carefully scrape wood from the reinforce of the fore-end. This will bring the muzzle lower into the fore-end and the accumulative error factor will come into play and you'll find that removing just a few .0001"/thous or a gnats knacker or a RCH for you wild colonials will soon bring the barrel to bear with the correct weight.

    My old boss, WO2 Jock Annandale, used to swear that he could SEE the accuracy of rifles improve as he refitted the fore-ends properly
