I bought one of those gauges that you stick in the muzzle to determine gauge and caliber. The best I can tell it is a 16 gauge. The other side of the gauge is .65 caliber. Should I order a .640 or .635 mold? I don't know if a .648 mold what make a round that is too tight for my fowler or not. I want to use a patch.

Pete, you might want to actually try some balls before you spring for a mould. Track sells .610 and .648, but nothing else in between in lots of 25. You might find other sources. Folks here may tell you who they are. I usually buy or "borrow" some balls when deciding on a mould for a new gun. Saves expensive experimentin'.

Personaly, I liked whay one of the fellers said at the beggining and that was to measure the I.D. of the barrel. I know ya used a gauge, that's it, it's simply a gauge. I think they ment for you to use an inside micrometer to see what measures EXACTLY. Then you will KNOW what the I.D. truly is. I think (FWIW), that a gauge is only used to determine a neighborhood. Whereas a measuring tool will set it right in your lap.
My tupence worth.
