Probably use the barrel mounted flip up sight assembly such as used on the percussion conversions of 1816's. For right now I'm experimenting with the smooth bore, (.653, .678 & .683) round ball and a simple fixed rear sight mounted on a spare rear barrel band.
So any how, 0.600 is just about the safe limit on the sizer, to have enough metal remaining in the walls between the sizer bore and the threaded outside diameter. Not big enough for my project, not big enough for the .69 sizer needed by the gentleman making the original post.
