Perhaps patterning is not the right term. Maybe sighting is more accurate. My proceedure was as follows:

Offhand at 15 yards with the same brand and lot of rifled slugs in each bbl. That's how I evaluated the basic windage and elevation.

Then, I used the same brand and lot of 00 buck at the same distance. Ended up getting the same basic "pattern": i.e. a hand sized pattern from the shot about 2 inches to the right out of the right bbl. and about dead on in elevation. From the left bbl. a hand-sized pattern about two inches to the left and about an inch higher than the right bbl. Measurements were approximate, of course, but my conclusion was that the point of impact from the left bbl. was certainly higher than the right bbl.

When measuring the slugs, I treated them like bullets. When measuring the shot patterns, I measured from the middle of the pattern in approximating windage and elevation.
