Mike375,

I'll reiterate what 4seventy says.
"different loads for each barrel, this is not a good idea"
In a hunting type environment, I can guarantee you won't get it right.
If a double needs different loads, get the double fixed (ie Re Regulated)

Regarding "the soft in one barrel and solid in the other for dangerous game"

The following applies to Australia and I am only talking Buffalo and Scrub Bull.

I start off with 2 softs as unless the animal is facing directly away from
me where I won't shoot on the first shot, All other shots (ie 15 degrees off from rear all the
way around to 15 degrees the other side) can be taken with a Soft. I can also get the 2nd
shot away that quickly that in general it is the soft type bullet that is required.

Then, when I reload, depending on the situation I MAY load a Soft and a Solid
but this judgement is based solely on exprience and the animal I am after.
(ie if I know the Buffalo has a history of aggressiveness etc etc).

This is just MY opinion from hunting in Australia and everyone is different and
no answer is correct for every situation.
