0.565'' lead ball

[Kegcaissy]

Hi!

i got these lead balls and i want to know in what caliber they are? These are 0.565'', they have a sprue plate flat and weight something around 250gr. I'm more of an Lee-Enfield shooter and i want to know what these are for.

.565 RB have sometimes been used in .58 Rifled Muskets (.575 bore) with a patch. Many of the rifled muskets have a three groove rifling which is shallow. While not a "military load" that would normally be used such as a .575 "Minie Ball" - if a person wants to shoot patched roundball, they should work just fine.

They would load in a Burnside Carbine case.
