.490, double patched, 70g ffg
Mainly because I have a whole bunch of .490 balls from having the .50 cal barrel.
ok accuracy to 40, or maybe 50, yards

I would choose a ball plus patch diameter that is .006 to .010 larger than the bore ID. This gives a lot of possibilities. The thicker the patch, the more lube in the combination.
I had a TC 56SB (.564 ID)and had a lot of trouble finding a combination that worked well. I had to buy special sized balls from TotW. I sent this barrel to Bob Hoyt and had it redone to .62 cal rifle just to bypass this problem. The .535 ball worked OK but I already had several 54's.
