My experience with Pedersoli smoothbores is that they run small for the caliber that they are supposed to be. With my .75 Bess, I had to downsize to a .71 ball to use with paper cartridges. With my .69 Charleville, I get the best results with a .64 ball. I would say measure your bore and give Larry Calahan a call. He is the nicest guy in the world to talk to. He will make the mold you want and you will have it quickly and for a fair price, in my opinion. Then go make some smoke.
