ill get my pedersoli sxs 12 gauge with cylinder bores sometime next week. I would really like to shoot roundballs with this. whats everyones opinion. ive got my Kodiak .72 but that thing is heavy to tote as far as I hike in to my pig spot. all my hunting is 25 yards or less
 
You maybe lucky but every pedersoli double shotgun had poor barrel regulation and so shot to different point of impacts. It's fixable but you may favour one barrel for your first shot.
For how close your shots are it may not be an issue.
 
I shoot .690 out of my cyl bored new englander. It shoots patched betterthan bare ball. I took a 595 ball n loaded it in 20ga shotgun shells with 3f set up just like my muzzle loader load n have shot it through improved cyl n modified chokes with good results

I have one of these. I get good results with 60 grains of 2x Goex,, an overpowder wad, a lubed felt wad, and a .715 ball "patched" with butter paper. I also check the seating in the second barrel after firing the first just to be certain it stayed "home" after recoil.
