.69 Caliber Musket

[smoothshooter]

I recently got an 1842 Armi-Sport .69 caliber smoothbore musket.
What ball diameter molds do I need to get for shooting paper cartridges on the one hand, and thick-patched ball loads on the other?
I assume Lee, Lyman, etc. make molds and blocks for what I need.

If the above manufacturers don't presently offer that caliber, try Tanner Ball Moulds in the UK: excellent quality, fast delivery, and spot on with respect to diameter.

+1 on Tanner molds! I had them make me one for my 8 bore.

For paper, .65”
For patched, actual bore size - patch thickness x 2 = ball size
