    What ball to cast for a 64 cal Baker

    I'm getting my hands on a repro Baker Rifle. I"m told it has a rifled .64 cal barrel. What size ball do I need to cast to use with a patch?

    I had thought the original Baker was a 62 and good repos are often in the same caliber. If a repo I would double check before ordering a mold. A 64 would be a real oddball and require a special mold. A 62 rifle will commonly handle a 610. Even looking at roundball available to buy precast from Track of the Wolf I sow nothing for a 64.

    I just won this piece on Gunbroker. The seller states that it was a Rifle Shoppe kit. I've tried calling the shoppe a couple times today but no one answered. I think it must be .62 and the seller just got the digit wrong. We'll see.
