I have read somewhere when proving the blackpowder rifles back then they simply gave them a doublecharge powder + doubleweight bullet.

In muzzle-loading times this would have made sense - except perhaps in war. According to Thomas Kenneally's 'Confederates' some rifles were found (as I have recalled previously) after battles with as many as 23 loads unfired in the barrels. It's a wonder the soldiers could insert the ramrods at all.
