Round ball source question.

(1/2) > >>

Rt5403:
So I just finished my chambers New England Fowler kit and I am looking for round balls of slightly different diameters to try and work up a load in it. The Fowler is .12 gauge. Does anyone know a good place to get round balls and maybe suggestions on diameter? Once I figure out what the gun likes I plan on getting a mold made.

smylee grouch:
A lot of people go to places like Track of the Wolf, call them or check on line.

wattlebuster:
690s should be pretty easy to find, Last I looked track had some. I would also try some 700s but they will be harder to find. Also if you can find some try some Fg in it. Fg shoots great in my 12 gauges as well as tightend my shot an ball groups

Daryl:
Does anyone know offhand, what the inside diameter of their 12 bore barrel happens to be?
That will dictate what size round ball you should be using.

Levy:
.729, I believe.  James Levy
