Just bought a flintlock 65 cal. Where can I get some balls for it. Can I use fff instead of ff? Just use less?

.65 ?
That is a Hand Cannon.
Who made it ?
My next project down the line is a Blunderbuss maybe in 4 bore.
I might buy a sailboat now that I am retired, and need to have protection against Pirates.

HI Life Member,
I can cast a .645 RB.
Check your Bore size, as you might be able to use a raw ball and over powder wad or a paper patched.
It could possibly be large enough with this ball to use some ticking.

PM me if you want, i log in everyday.

You may need to order a Tanner mold.
