I mostly carry two solids in my double.. I believe in solids and the flat nose solids just reinforce my idea of a good stopping round...I have shot everything with them..I like two holes in everything I shoot...Sometimes I carry a soft in my double.

I certainly don't see a thing wrong with carrying a soft and a solid if the shooter is comfortable with it, nor do I see anything wrong with carrying two softs or two solids, after all its his business that he is conducting....

This is an age old arguement among the most experienced of hunters as well as those who have never fired a shot at dangerous game, so it will not be settled in these pages....Nor was it a subject that was ever worth such monumental conversations, its a shallow ridiculas arguement...

It mostly depends on what one is hunting and why he is packing the rifle, is he a hunter or backup or PH...A Ph might choose a soft and a solid in case of a close encounter with a Lion, Buffalo or Elephant, the soft would certainly be better for Lion, would work OK on buff and not very good on elephant, but then he has the solid for that, viola! he has all the bases covered!!!...Were I hunting Lions then I would carry two softs in my gun...

Nothing is written in stone and the determination as to what to carry is usually decided when you load the gun to go into the bush after the animal, and should the conversation ever come up at that time, I will surly shoot the SOB who brought it up,in both of his knee caps with a couple of solids, perhaps, perhaps not, one round may be a soft.......;)
