What size round ball are yall using in your kibler 20 ga Fowler?

[Texcl2]

I just picked up another kibler fowler kit, this time a walnut 20 ga quick ship. I’m gonna be buying a round ball mould for it, what size are yall using? Have any of yall measured your bore diameter?

Mine likes this combo.

How tight is that ball/patch combo?

My smoothbore isn't a Kibler but is a .62 (20 ga). I shoot a .600" lead ball from a Lee mold with a .010" to .012" flannel patch. I also have a Tanner .590" mold.

Don’t buy a mold yet
If you shoot bare ball you may get best with .610
A patch .595-.600
Paper military style cartridge a .575
Play a bit and see

When I was shooting Larry Zornes barrels , true 20/guage , I shot .595 ball for patched loads and .600 for bare ball loads ... My barrels now , although called 20 ga. are really 19 gauge since the I.D. is .625 .... .600 is great for patched ball .... Order ya a bag of .600 and a bag of .595 and try them out , see what ya think of em before ya buy a mold ....
