Good posts all.
Being well aware of the advantages of a soft/solid in a double I have practiced it here in the US while hunting with my doubles in preperation for my Africa trip. No I did not use solids for US game but applied the thoery in a different manner. Many time I carry a "soft" soft point in the right bbl and a "harder" soft point in the left. If my shot is broadside I shoot the soft soft first, if the angle is bad I shoot the hard soft first. By doing this I have trained LIVE FIRE in the "soft/solid" application of the double rifle. I can assure you that choosing the correct trigger is not a problem. When I walk I have two legs, when I hunt I have two triggers.
I do feel that this soft in the right bbl and solid in the left is one of the advantages of the double [the soft soft and hard soft works pretty good too ]. Another Big advantage is to be able to SILENTLY, and quickly change the rounds in your bbls to what ever is best for the situation at hand.
The double rifle has several very good advantages for the hunter who will use one.
All you BRT People step away from the Dark Side....Use the FORCE....Get a double.
