I mostly shoot steel but i hung a piece of paper the other day. My first shot was one of the two in the bullseye, white circle. 25yrds off hand but two hand grip. my second shot was kind of loud and kicked a bit.. it was in the black circle to the left but Shure did look like two holes and not one.

Hmmmm. seems as though I loaded twice... I was shooting T7 and not real BP. quite certain that the powder in the second charge did not ignite as there was no noticeable extra flash? the third shot was to see if I had damaged anything and was another bullseye in the white circle. then I went back to shooting steel :)
 
its really interesting to see how accurate it was with the accidental double charge. also nice to know that nothing bad happens when you do that.. I jumped through a bunch of hoops trying to get a double charge out of my trapper and now i know you can just shoot it out.
 
Makes you think that if you were on a ship expecting to repel borders at relatively close range that loading two balls might be a good idea..
