ie: .19.050mm, groove to groove - AND meant for a brass case with an 11 bore ball. I would measure the bore ahead of the chamber and behind the rifling at the muzzle, if possible. Interior expanding ball and a mic will work at the breech end. slugging up a pure lead ball behind the rifling and pushing it back to the breech for measuring would work for the bore measure. What a beautiful gun in absolutely lovely shape.
I think more measurements are needed to ascertain what projectile will work best. Still appears altered and I suspect round ball will likely work best. Cloth-patched round balls in brass cases is a viable option as well. They have worked very well for me and others. Nice thing about the denim cloth patch, is with a BP lube, keeps the fouling soft, good accuracy and easy cleanup afterwards.
