all the world loved multiple round balls on a charge of powder for crowd control. theres a shipwreck in the saintlawrence from the french and indian wars, they recovered dozens of muskets that had 3 balls on top of the powder.
not exactly conducive to accuracy for firendly recoil. thats why colonial 'rangers" like rogers rangers kinda liked the round ball with 3 pellets of buck on top.
