I was wondering if
1. it is possible to shoot 2 x bullet loads (not round balls) in a revolver safely
and
2. if not, why? (like the science behind it)
Part of me wants to shoot these loads in my BFR revolver chambered in 45-70.
I'm not really interested in comments about how these rounds are ineffective, how there are other loads/rounds that are better, or why these loads would have no practical purpose. I just want to know if they would work safely and why or why not (with explanations). I know that people shoot/have shot multi-ball (round ball) loads in revolvers just fine, but I haven't really seen people shoot say, 2 x mini wad cutters or something of the sorts. My concern is with the bullets seated base to base, that something weird might happen in the area of the barrel to cylinder gap, or that the bullet going backwards may have issues going into the forcing cone with a bullet in front of it.
As a side note, I have already shot over a hundred of those duplex collar button loads in my Encore SBR and Handi Rifle.
