I am looking for info on how to load double and triple ball loads using 45 cal. round balls. What do you use for a powder charge (BP of course)? I assume a wad needs to be on top of the powder. Any advice welcome.

Major, what bore rifle are you using. If larger than a .45 cal then it would be the powder load, wad, projectiles, and wad. If trying to stack bullets, they would be powder and the projectiles. Kind of like the old civil war 3 piece shaler bullet. Only difference would be the shalers kind of interlocked like Dixie cups one on top of the other. Powder charge would be dependent upon caliber of rifle you are shootingDemocrat: A person too stupid to know they're a communist.
If you heard my shot, I wasn't aiming at you. -
