Are you looking for diameter, or weight on the Minie Ball mold(s)? The .620 ball mold...that in inches/diameter?

Kevin, the round balls need to be about .620 and a minie ball diameter from .635 to .645 +/- a few thousandths

Thanks

It's British target rifle, 64 caliber. Whitworth type rifling. Several of the style guns were used by sharpshooter of the day.

The best story I know of is on Jack Hinson. If you don't know the story I recommend at least google the name and "revenge" I'm sure the story will pop up. He used a heavy target gun too. Likely a US made one, I think his was .45 or .50 caliber

Do you have pictures of such a weapon? I have not heard of a "British target rifle" of THAT caliber, with "Whitworth type rifling"?
