A few years ago I used a .62 inch round ball in my 12 gauge 1887. I used high brass hulls and a claybuster wad. Put me powder in the primed hull, seated the wad and dropped the ball in. Poured some super grex to fill up the empty space and put a star crimp on the hull. I found the accuracy acceptable for deer sized game.
