I would not shoot minnie bullets in a double rifle unless they engraved at loading, hard. Loose fit minnies, as they were designed to be used will slide forward upon the discharge of the first barrel. This means a .575 minnie in a .580 bore. Dangerous! Even REAL bullets can move 1/4" to 1" forward in a .58 double rifle if they are a bit small in size or only engrave one band. My buddie had this happen in his. Lucky for him, he checked one and quit using them. He was lucky he didn't ring or split his left barrel.
: Patched round balls will give better game killing results - stick with them as they are safe to use in double rifles "if properly patched".
