Were are you buying your big bore ammo other than P . A .? Since this is new to me what do I need to be aware of ? Marvin

I think you can use 000buckshot in the 9mm 201s. Midwayusa dot com sells it.
-
Our's liked the Korean 71g best, lot's cheaper too.
And (hey I could be wrong) I though 000 was .25ish?

Nope, 000 is .36" diameter. Size F is .220".

Jeremy I have found .350 000 buck by Hornady and I thought in my searches I had seen .356 but I lost it . If you know a source for .356 let me know. I have found a place 40 miles away that makes bullets but not round balls . My main reason for the balls was cost . But this place is close enough I can ride my motorcycle too and get 9 mm bullets for $26 a box of 500 and he goes all the way up to 160 gr. So I have been blessed again. He is going to mail me 400 sample bullets for free to see which I like best . I cant complain . But I would like to try some balls as well. A .350 is a little small I think but may be some one will speak up. Also he pours other calibers so if there is some one else with a big bore that needs a source the name of the business is . Bear Creek Supply in Waterford Calif. 209 / 874 / 4322 . .One of the power burners that reloads told me about this place . Marvin

J I believe the .360 would be to large . The 9. mm is .355 most lead bullets are .356 - 358 and most people stay with the .356 . That's why I am afraid the .350 hornady # 6400 is to small . Its a 5 thousands too small and the .360 is 4 thousands to big . Marvin

Both or them like .359" slugs unsized, and 9mm stuff is way undersize for mine {read falls through the barrel}
`
If yours is a true 9mm, then finding .356" roundball may not be real easy.
Personally, I prefer shooting slugs with the 201, but the ultra does really well with the .36" ball . . .

J thank you for your input . I did not know you had a 201's. I will be ordering one tomorrow . I did not realize the bores were that much over .35 or 9 mm . Have you swaged your barrel . And can you tell me if the barrel is choke on the muzzle end or the chamber. I have been trying to gather info but no one really is talking to me. As I stated in a earlier thread I am getting some bullets sent to me this week . He said he would send me some .356 and some 357 in 135 , 147, and 160 gr.I know he has .360 as well. What have you found that works in your rifle . Like I said I am ordering tomorrow I was going to do it today but I have been waiting on a answer from a supplier . If they do not get a hold of me tomorrow morning I will buy from another vender . But I will order tomorrow one way or another . I have been held up for 2 days now and the order button is going to be hit tomorrow. I would appreciate any info you have to give.
Also my discovery pump has a female foster quick coupler on it . Do you know the tread and diameter of the probe that is sent with the rifle so that I might be able to getter up the right fitting to just do a guck convert too go back and forth. I think I have a dive shop and may be a paint ball shop in the area that can supply me with the parts if I know the right size. Marvin

My barrelsare tapered toward the muzzle, but I've been toldothers have gotten them the exact reverse. I don't know what sizethe probe thread is because I took the fill things out of the reservoirsand replaced them with BGMFKoreanquick connect (http://www.bgmfairguns.com/otherproducts.html) fitting, so I connect directly to the fill line.
`
Haven't slugged the bore, but a .355" {dropout measured with a micrometer} slug drops through either barrel, and sometimes .356" will also. Softcast unsized .359" 160grain SWCgroup best in the 201 at60m, but the ultra shoots .36" ball most effectively.
`
Thesteel bunny at 100m didn't stand a chance against the ultra and .36" ball . . .

That's another of my favorite sites. I have a flintlock and have always loved front stuffers.

Me too. Love my Bess.

There's just nothing in the world like "chippin' a flint" on a deer or hog. Flintlocks are way too much fun.
