I brought up this topic for one reason.

i hear a lot of times in shotgunning circles that its no use using loading two different shells or shot sizes in a double. The claim is the shooter will never be able to choose the right shot size in the instant it is required.

I have never subscribed to this theory and often for example load smaller shot in the first barrel and larger shot in the second assuming the bird is going to be further away. Most times it has never been an issue choosing one barrel and trigger over the other even if only a split second.

In double rifle circles the loading of a soft and solid seems to be much more the norm. This assumes the shooter can choose which barrel quickly or at least assumes the left then the right if required.

Of course a shotgun with a duck is far different from a buffalo or whatever looking to kill you. I don't personally have the experience to judge.

Why the difference do you think? Surely the second scenario is much more stressful and would result in wires getting crossed much more easily?

Perhaps it is only those ridiculous shotguns with single selective triggers.

PS People are free here to discuss whatever they want.
