I assume you'd have to get a cylinder choke so there's no constriction for round ball. Seems to me I read somewhere that BB and larger also required no more choke than Improved, if I recall... maybe it was Modified.
I did notice that for the "Classic" model, there is no roundball load listed in Pedersoli's manual, only shot. There is a "Slug" model that lists a roundball load which was 80 grs 2F, .695 ball and .020 patch.

My model is the slug model but from the others owned the barrels seem of the same construction. Mine is cylinder.

your patterns look fine. I shoot 80 grains of 2f and 1 1/2 oz shot. That is about 110 grains of shot from the same measure. You will want to do a penetration test too. I first started shooting blackpowder shotguns in 1979. I had to learn myself no internet back then. I had a great pattern on paper but no punch. After missing 6 rabbits the last one was sitting I knew there was something wrong. Paper is easy to penetrate. Take a steel can not aluminum and shoot at it. If it goes through one side it is enough to kill small game. Your load should be fine but I would check it any way. The more powder and less shot will spread the pattern. Less powder more shot will tighten it. Good luck, Nice gun.I just bought a 20 ga Pedersolli and it shoots well too. I use 70 grains 2f and 1 oz shot about 90 grains of shot from the same measure. The 20 swings a lot faster than the 12. I've got turkeys with each.
