Thank Ye’ Kindly.
I'm still wondering why someone would want to shoot 2 balls at the same time and nothing I've heard thus far is very compelling. While someone may have done some testing at some point with some gun in no way translates to success for someone else with some other gun. Shoot one bullet, put it in the right place and collect your game. If you want to shoot more than one projectile, get a smoothbore - that is what they do best...I have never shot two balls. I do remember the discussions by Roundball and his experiments.
The two balls don't lose velocity, they start off slower. Once they are moving, they will each lose velocity the same as if only one ball was fired at the lower velocity. They aren't hooked together, they each act as one ball.
Heavier projectiles lose velocity less quickly than lighter ones.

Me, too. Guess we'll have to learn to do it, though, because it's HC/PC.I'm still wondering why someone would want to shoot 2 balls at the same time...
The use of multiple projectiles, such as a Buck and Ball, is known and appears common in close-quarter fighting between people and for personal protection. Still not a hunting situation...Me, too. Guess we'll have to learn to do it, though, because it's HC/PC.
John Dabney Shane interview: "A young man at the low dutch station, John Galloway, a reed maker rode out to go round his cornfield and see how it was coming on, before he got out of sight, or just after the Indians shot him in the arm in two places. They allowed there were two bullets in the gun."

I hear ya, I believe ya. I'm thinking more in terms of "would it work for me", more than "does it work for you". I can see, and believe, that it works for you. Anyhow...did you see the groups Headhunter is getting out of his .40?? I think it would take the top of the head off a squirrel, at fifty yards. Or the fly sitting on his head. Or the head, of the fly, sitting on the squirrel's head. Don't think it would damage much meat.Well I just throw my opinion in based on my experience. I huntsolely with a 32cal, mostly squirrelhere in deep East Texas. And Idouble ball quite often when I comeacross a hog or deer. At 30 yards The balls are no further than 1 inchapart. I have a freezer full of squirrels, hogs, and dear to back it up. It works for me. Your mileagemay vary, good hunting.
No I didn't see groups! Can you point me in the right direction?I hear ya, I believe ya. I'm thinking more in terms of "would it work for me", more than "does it work for you".
