With the gun in hand, after a chamber cast and other inspections, I need a mould that throws a 0.807" ball.

Nearly 9 bore! The monster is proofed 10/2 and obviously made for a thin brass case.

First off Cap congratulations on acquiring such a lovely piece, she's in remarkable shape, & has a good 'figure' for a big girl!
Can you let us in on the secret as to how you derive the ball size?
I know there would be internal differences between paper & brass cases, would you need do a cast of your chambers & initial rifling to determine the case length & groove size, minus the patch thickness?
It would be grand to see how you do the complete loading process, powder wads etc!
I know Buckstix makes a star crimper for brass cases, or do you already have one of those in your accessories?
Can't wait for the range report, I reckon she'll do more than just fine!
Cheers
