I just picked up a 20ga Howdah with .625 barrels, my research has shown to use 19ga wads. Would like to know the correct punch size to make my own? Tried what I have on hand 11/16 too big and 5/8 too small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Good evening, Nunz.Thank you, Sir!
TGood evening, Nunz.
I own a Howdah, I ordered it from one place and the OS cards and Felt wads from another. I ordered .20 and were to small in diameter. I was frustrated and wanted to shot it. I took some of my .12 wads and cards and used a .58 ram tulip tip ram rod from my Harpers Ferry Pistol. I centered them up on muzzle and they fit tight. They worked good. Since then I picked up some 19 gauge wads and cards they work good also. I feel Britsmooty is correct about the 11/16th punch. Mine shot #1 buck shot well, Real good pattern. Plus the .610 and .614 ball very accurate..
You'll like it alot.
Good luck.
