32 Cal.
Hello all,
It has been a while since I have posted, but have been lurking for quite some time. I have finally placed an order for my smooth bore...20ga, dark coffee colored, antiqued steel, and 42" barrel! Matt says it should be ready late spring and I can hardly wait. I asked him to check the bore and he said it measured .608.
So, I am in the process of gathering accessories. I figured a .590 round ball and .018 patch to be a good start...problem is...I can't seem to find any round balls in that size. Checked the obvious places. Is this not a common size for pre-made round balls? I am not set up to cast my own and all my current shooting is done with the .54 cal. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate it. When it comes in I'll post plenty of pics. This will also be my first flintlock as well, so the summer will be filled with learning experiences. Thanks!
