What size punch should I get for my kibler 16ga Fowler barrel? I’ve seen several different sizes mentioned. I like the ability to make my own wads out of different materials to work up loads but this is my first 16 gauge. What works for you guys?
Best thing to do is go metric. I had to do that with Pedersoli 20’s since they are closer to 19 ga at .625 and 16mm fits perfectly with a little snugness. For a 16 gauge at .662 a 17mm punch is equal to .669. Try a 17mm punch and it should be good to go.What size punch should I get for my kibler 16ga Fowler barrel?

For my unmentionable 45/70 sharps I got a metric punch.Might have one for 16 gauge?What size punch should I get for my kibler 16ga Fowler barrel? I’ve seen several different sizes mentioned.

Depending on the punch, you might could carefully polish the inside of the 17mm with a Dremel to reduce it a few .001's if they fit too tight as is...Best thing to do is go metric.
