does  anyone  have any experience loading 2 balls in  a  cartridge??  i  read an article years ago and been fascinated ever since i  saw a deer shot with double  50cal  muzzle loader balls.    i  have  Remington's 38  and  357  factory  that  shoot good.  have  loaded 44 mag  9 gr  unique behind 2    .433 balls  good  group [10 grains no good].....never shot any thing with  them ...and  my  50  with  90 grains fff  shoots  great  too......i  think  i will  try  2   ooo buck  in  my  357  next  time  i  am  board

Oh yeah, I've loadied most everything you can imagine into pistol cases and shotgun hulls. (And a lot of things you can't imagine) Never really found anything that worked as well as a single projectle in pistol cases, for anything beyond 10-15yds. Did have fun loading flechettes in shotgun shells. Can't claim that as my idea, got it from Uncle Sam.

I have tried double and even triple ball loads just for the sake of curiosity but can find no practical use for them that couldn't be done better with a single bullet. The three ball loads were .457s in a 45/70 rifle. At 65 yards only one ball would impact anywhere on an 18x24" target and that one was literally "anywhere". I moved in to 30 yards and still only got one hit on paper. I assume the force of the powder gas slammed them together and made the balls into disks which would then just flutter off wildly.

either  one  want  to  share  any  other  creative  loads??    [ flechettes  are  illegal  in  florida  but  i  tried  some  in a slingshot]...some  times  i  load  00 buck  as a patch and  ball in  a  primed case  with no  powder   just  to practice  my  fast draw  on  the  porch
