    John, I am not too sure of what you are asking but if I am correct and you are asking a question concerning point of impact. May I ask how many different types of ammo you are using or perhaps, you are hand loading? what is the condition of the insides of the barrels? what size of shot are you using? I have found that my 1919 specialty grade tends to shoot better with a lite load and smaller shot, My 1917 ideal has a more uniform patten with a little faster load and slightly bigger shot and my 1903 hammergun(thanks Destry) is happy with just about anything I put Thu it. if you haven't I would suggest trying several different types of lite to moderately loaded shells to see if something in particular gives you the desired results
