Shoots two for one.

I have an Pederson 1500 over/under 12g shot gun that shoots trap loads as designed but if I put heavier charged loads in it it will fire both barrels almost simultaneously with one trigger pull. With the stock removed I see a small screw on the rod that selects which barrel the trigger will fire, is this by chance an adjustment for heavier loads or am I just screwing up by running heavier loads through the gun?
I figured before I go monkeying with it maybe I would ask. Also I could not find a schematic on this shotgun so I'm sorry for my lack of proper terminology.
Thanks for the input so far, this is an inertia switched trigger.
Thanks in advance.

Believe it was called a release trigger.
Browning Citori's are recoil. If the first shot does not fire, the second shell cannot be fired.
Wincherster 101's are mechanical. Whether the first shot goes off or not, the second shot can be fired when the trigger is pulled.
You can check this by putting snapcaps and pulling the trigger twice. If it doesn't go off for the second shot, bump the butt of the stock on the floor and pull the trigger again and see if it goes off.
Is the trigger inetia/recoil or mechanically set. Inertia/Recoil is where the recoil of the shotgun sets the second trigger, Mechanical is the second pull on the trigger sets the second trigger.

Excellent info, above!!!
You just told me what to avoid!!! I had no clue such a system existed!
That 'inertia' nonsense effectively reduces the 2nd barrel to naught if the first barrel doesn't go 'bang'! It's an empty gun! What a crock! Geeeez, Louise! Joe
It's a good gun, I'm sure. I won't buy one, because the system is only as good as the ammo used in it.
It's just not for me. Not the quality, mind you, but the concept. Best, Joe
In light of this I figure just continue to shoot target loads through it a sit works flawlessly with them. Anyhow I appreciate the attempts to help.
