The Pedersoli will shoot a .735" ball with a thin paper (rolled cartridge), or 0.010" or less cloth patch. If you are firing for speed use the 0.715 and it will be snug enough after the first shot.
11 gauge wads will work better. 12 gauge is 0.729 vs. 0.750 for the DP Bess.
HEY! I beat Musketman in on this!
