two balls...
Lady of the Woods:
well, now that I have your attention...
I'm SURE this has never happened to you... but if a friend of yours accidentally managed to double load - as in: powder. patch. ball. duuuhhhh. powder. patch. ball. what would you do - I mean what would you tell your friend to do?
cap and blast or pull ?
I have a VERY close friend who has done this more than once and she has had a slightly sore shoulder afterward, but worries that her barrel might not make it through a 3rd time. your thoughts gentlemen?

PULL!PULL!PULL!PULL!PULL!PULL!
Firing off a double load like that could be very bad JuJu.

wow that's a tough one... I know what I should tell you and also what I would probably do. Given the safety side i have to say pull it. If it was just a second ball i would shoot it out but with powder too that adds a bunch of extra weight, like 2.5 x the single ball load. Just not worth the risk.
BEAVERMAN:
Jusr went through this last weekend with ahem... Puffer! Pulled the second ball and wormed the patch, reseated the first load and touched it off. No need to pull the first load down the tube!

the key there is to 'RESEAT' or could be a disaster.
