The book says I can shoot .690 Round Ball out of it.Anyone ever do it,how did it do?

I use .690's in my Navy Arms Double barrel and it shoots them real well. I get one large hole, 4 shot (2 from each barrel) groups at 25 yds. Mine has both barrels cylinder bore. I don't use a patch with mine, just the powder, an over powder wad, then start a half a lubed fiber cushion wad just below the muzzle and place the ball on it sprue up, then an overshot card, and ram the 2 wads and ball down on top of the over powder wad. In order to load the ball and other 2 wads easier, i punch a hole through the over powder wads before i use them. This gives the trapped air a way to get out and makes it easier to get the fiber wad, ball, and overshot wad seated without it coming back up off the powder.
 
Rebel's gun sounds like the same one I have. I patch my Rb
same as I do a rifle, shoots great, both barrels to the same place.
 
My Gun is European Modified Choke,the book says just to use Patch and Ball like I do with my Rifle.

I just thinking it would be neat to try.Or should I just stick with my Rifle.

If a patch must be used, I would suggest using a .678 round ball and a .012 - .015 patch...
