To explain the question, .577" - .58" caliber weapons having rifling that is designed for use with hollow based projectiles come in a variety of bore diameters, most often to the plus side when deviations occur in manufacturing. And it is not uncommon for reproduction arms to have substantially larger than .577" or even .58" bores. This becomes important in providing projectiles that are sized to best work with the actually diameter of the bore.
Hence my inquiry as to the bore diameter: I was interested in what you were selling.

I have never loaded or fired this Musketoon so I no idea what size rounds to use....This sounds like a good question for Forum
