Oz:

I'm acutely aware of that problem and you're absolutely right. I agree that, at this late date, that's disturbing and that discussion wouldn't be pointless at all, especially for a unique forum like this one, dedicated to double rifles! Indeed, that's what this string should have been about. Unfortunately, the OP, a non-double rifle shooter, began it with "It's a myth, prove it to me". So instead, we've dusted off the '80s debate and are now poised to conduct "tests"

about an issue that was settled 20 years ago, and that IS utterly pointless. Worse, it obfuscates the more important aspect of dealing with the issue.
