What’s the recommended size for a 16 gauge percussion double barrel, using a patch? How thick of a patch?

.635" RB with blue striped pillow ticking
Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
I pick up Blue striped and Red Striped pillow ticking by the yard at Wally World in their fabric department.
One is just a little thicker than the other.
I just select the one that fits best for MY rifle and the ball I intend to shoot.
The same rifle , even with the same caliber have slight differences.
I use a 650 with blue tick. It depends on the bore size. 15 under is a good place to start.
You can hear the whack when the ball hits a deer at 25 yards - it will suck the lungs right out the exit hole.
will a .530 RB, work? or is that for a 24 gauge?
Lyman made a .648 RB mould at one time I used it with my 16 gauge English fowler. I used .015-.018 patching
