So I just got my new to me rifled musket today. I miked the barrel at .588 average of 3 measurements. What size minie ball should I shoot? I know standard is .575 with 60 grains 2fg. I will be running 2fg at 60 grains. Didn’t know if I should use a .577 or .580. What are the thoughts. I just don’t want the minie ball to slide down the barrel while hunting or shooting if the muzzle gets tilted down. Don’t want a $900 pipe bomb
