I experimented with multiple round balls out of a .62cal smoothbore one day, using a home made paper shot cup.

I first tried 4 - .440s but they had so much stagger-stack offset to each other in that big bore that when they exited the muzzle, they all pushed off into different directions...about 18" groups at 40yds.

BUT...using 3 larger .490s, they stood almost straight upright and clustered nice 4-5" group at 40yds.
