Bramble--- I have been told that you can regulate a double with a lower bullet weight and lower powder charge. It is done often and the reasons are abundant. I want to be able to hunt deer with my 50-90 yet a 535 grain woodleigh at over 2000 fps would be devastating. Also, I want to punch holes in paper with regularity with this double and do not want the heavy recoil. And, part of punching holes in paper is that the bullets should hit point of aim! Thus a regulated lower powder charge / lighter bullet makes sense.

Yet the original purpose of this gun is a 'stopper gun'.... something that can take almost anything down. Thus the gun is being regulated first with a heavy bullet and heavy charge... after that is accomplished the gunsmith works out a variety of lighter loads and lighter weights to find the "lighter" bullet/powder combination that ALSO hits to point of aim.

Thus, in many ways you can get TWO guns with a double. That is: IF you can get two loads to regulate satisfactorily!
