    Reboring a barrel. 28 gauge or 24 gauge?

    I'm getting ready to get a 54 cal 26 inch barrel rebored to a smooth bore. I will be using it for hunting small game, turkey, and maybe deer with round ball. What are the Pro's and cons of 28 gauge and 24 gauge?

    Shooting Bare ball

    For those of you that shoot bare ball how snug should the ball be as it goes down the barrel. I have a .56 caliber smoothie that a .562 ball can be seated on the powder with a ram rod but it is tight in the bore?

    Spring Turkey

    Called it in with a wing bone call that I made from my very first turkey. Shot it at 20 yards. 56 caliber muzzleloader with 7/8 oz of #4 shot and 55 grains of 2f powder. 8 inch beard. First bird with the smooth bore and first with a wing bone call.

    Good day to you all. I just picked up my first smoothly barrel. It's a t/c .56 cal barrel. It has a fair amount of pitting but no really big rusted out areas.
