[Rifleman1776]

I have no experience with anything smaller than a 32 cal and its pretty dinky! 40 gr, its about as small as I would really ever need, but who knows, I might go mouse hunting some day :wink: . it would likely be expensive, I don't know of any barrel makers who bore that small, so that'll cost ya. its like the guy I met that had a 12 cal cf suppository rifle he paid dear for something so small it really wasn't much use for anything except to say "look what I made".

I have a friend who built himself a .22 ml rifle using an old barrel from a .22lr rifle. He did not patch but just shoved a buckshot down the bore. I don't know what size offhand.
Actually, .22 ml rifles are not that original an idea. In Europe there were 'parlor' rifles often in .22 cal. They were muzzle loaders and also shot not patched. As you can gather from the name they were used for indoor entertainment. Charges were very small.
