Or so that was my findings.I tried them several times years ago, but always found the accuracy to be on the far side of terrible.I have found the .690 Round Ball to have it's greatest accuracy potential when wads were matched to each guns bore diameter, so it kept them going more in a straight line, and the choke was matched to that particular combination.There are many many loads out there for the various Round Ball diameters, so the possibilities are endless.For guys shooting either an O/U or SxS and wanting to know where their barrels throw a center pattern, a Round Ball at 1,200 fps. shot at 40 yards, will show exactly where each barrel patterns at that distance.My Beretta O/U shoots the top barrel center of point of aim at 40 yards, and the bottom barrel shoots 3" high at 40 yards. Both barrels are perfectly centered left and right, and this gun works as well for pheasant and geese with shot, as what it does for hogs with the Round Ball loads.I had a guy come by this morning and wanted some loads for his Ruger Red Label, and found his top barrel shooting 6" high and 4" left at 40 yards. His bottom barrel was shooting within an inch or two of center at the same distance. So he decided to shoot buckshot in the top barrel and a Round Ball in the bottom, and will be hunting hogs with it in Texas this weekend.</blockquote>
