I’ve got a double MacFarlane 10 gauge we’ve had for about twenty years . I worked up okay buckshot loads with it but had a hard time keeping the overshot card tight in the second barrel after the first shot . I also worked towards a slug in one barrel but I couldn’t get POA and POI at 30 yards to be close . I went as high as 90 or so grains of 777 2Fg . I had to stop that endeavor as my shoulder was growing a permenant knot from the recoil . The slugs were 730 grains . I shot it a couple times with 1 1/2 ounces of shot and it broke targets well enough but I never was comfortable with the overshot card staying put in the left after firing the right .
