See this post, as @Griz44Mag uses 0.735” balls. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/building-the-rifle-shops-hakenbusche-kit.120710/

I have some tow here somewhere for traditional wadding, and ripped a tiller candidate out of a piece of yellow pine to start with. Anyone know the dimensions of the TRS .75 gonne socket?
