Nope, never double-balled (YET) - but I would guess that if I shot as many rounds as you do in a year, RB, I'd give you a good run for your money!roundball said:...I've done both...more than once!

I have never dry balled, but we do double ball often when calling coyotes. My .53 Hawken has a 1" barrel. With 80 gr of FFg, two balls weigh 424 gr. Roughly similar to .45-70 loads commonly shot in the Springfield Trapdoor. It is a good coyote load out to about 80 yards. One ball hits point of aim the other will hit within six inches.
