Adam, sort of a related concept.... have you ever tried the old 'buck and ball' load? I'm sure you're familiar with it.
For those who might not be, a 'buck and ball' load was a full size round ball, plus a few buckshot pellets. In the .69 caliber buck and ball loads common in military usage before the days of rifled muskets, buck and ball was one full size ball, plus 3 buckshot pellets.
