I hope to give you an answer about my experience soon. My lovely wife just gave me permission to get one. I've wanted one for a couple of years and she decided we can finally afford it. So, this weekend I plan on making the 2 hour drive to Ft. Worth and visit Cabela's. As some of you know I finally got a good load worked up for my CVA .50 percussion. Now I get to try again with the DBL 12. God I love this stuff! I'll let you know how it goes ASAP.
