"Buck and Ball" might be more accurately conveyed if it was "Ball and Buck" since the ball goes in first and the buck on top. For dangerous game it would be the most confident load especially in low light or night time conditions. Or if you hear something go bump in the night the gun loaded with "ball and buck" would be my "go to" gun.

I like the idea of something like five 54 caliber round balls and twelve 38 caliber round balls in this blunderbuss as well.
