One of the real advantages of a double is without doubt the possibility to load a solid in one barrel and a soft in the other. I think the makers of good doubles are aware of this fact and they design their locks accordingly. So it should be no problem to fire either barrel first without the risk of doubling. Also I believe that that the POI will not change too much at reasonable hunting distances if You discharge the left barrel first, at least if You use open sights.
So I wonder where the problem is !

I carry my doubles that way when hunting buffalo, but it has nothing to do with the order of pulling triggers other than I always carry a soft point in the right barrel! I like the first shot on a Buffalo to be a soft, followed by all solids! I don't hunt Elephant, but if i did then the rifle would always be loaded with solids in "BOTH" barrels!, and I would still pull the front trigger first in both cases!
