Re: Hammers on firearms for dangerous game hunting?

Both inside "hammers" of a hammerless gun are cocked, so why not cock both side hammers?
The advantage with a .600 NE is no chance of a double discharge.
With my .577 BP Express' and Bore rifles I cock only one barrel at a time just in case……..not to be confused with "strumming" the rear trigger (I've never had that problem), simply in case of firing shock knocking the left barrel sear off the tumbler on a 120+ year old rifle.
I'm not hunting anything more dangerous than Marmots (like a Groundhog) anyway…..(maybe the Monty Python "Killer Rabbit")
Bird hunting with my hammer 12 Bore I do cock both hammers.
