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

[FlaminCrow]

I ended up using a .600 lee ball mold and a patch that is slightly thinner than pillow ticking and get pretty darn good results. I’d prefer a .595 with pillow ticking if I could do it over but this combo is good.

What powder charge were you using? What range did you go out to?

I know all were under 60 grains and tried several types of powder, they were all about the same to be honest. 40 yards is my average range. I need to spend some more time with it.

Takes time to work a load. This will be my first Fowler, trying to put it all together before I start.

I ended up with the .600 mold because it was cheap and readily available, track of the wolf has the same Lee mold but In .595 for less than $40 I believe. mine will mainly be used for shot but it is fun to shoot ball out of and seems pretty accurate. I’d love to see what it would do with a rear sight. I took my first flintlock deer with a 20ga French fusil many years ago in a snow storm, I was hooked on flintlocks after that.

I got mine for Turkey and small game but I’m sure I’ll be tempted to use it for a deer at some point.
Hoping to get started on it in a couple months. Sitting there in the box calling my name.
