I wouldn't use that bullet in a double rifle.

It is not advisable to use monolithic bullets in a double rifle. Seems that they do not compress enough as they travel the barrel. This can result in ironing the rifling, and literally imprint the rifling through to the exterior of the barrels, as well as potentially breaking the solder bond between barrels and the rib. Not worth the risk!
