I know that if you use commercial loaded shell wads, you are looking at 570 or 575 cal for the RB, but better be soft lead for the ball if 575 oterhwise the wad comes out shredded.

I was using a 54 cal RB as I had the mold, but it was little loose. So bought a .562 mold.

16 grains of Unique with round ball and plastic wad which fits should be about right. Works with .600 ball in 24-ga. cases in. 577 Snider.
