Default Re: Double lugging neutrals?

Many panels have the label on the inside that indicates wire sizes etc. covered up with the wiring making it impossible to read.

Does anyone know of any specific panels that allow two neutrals under one screw? I have yet to find one that states it is allowed.

Be careful: many panels show 2 and three wires allowed under a screw and then the little footnote will state: "applies to equipment grounds only"
