Mr. 16 gauge,
I'm sorry I was not clear in my original post. YES, both balls are patched, BUT there is ONLY the first powder charge beneath Ball #1. I may try using a card wad or Ox-Yoke felt wad to see what happens.
I see the main benefit of this process is that one can increase the muzzle energy of the payload by 100%. For close range use, the effectiveness of round ball is enhanced. It seems the larger bores spread more. Of course, your results may vary.
Adam
