Patch them and load them the same as a rifle. Some guys prefer no patch at all and swear by their smoothbore's accuracy. But I did read the post too quickly. I'm so used to associating .490 balls with .50 calibre weapons I misspoke. The bores measuring .490 would be on a par with a 39 - 40 gauge.

Just about everything I've seen from Williams & Powell has been top shelf and yours go right along with the best. Don't try to chase down the records. Whatever existed was incinerated by the Luftwaffe, according to the current owner. View down Castle street looking towards city hall about 1875. Williams & Powell would be near the far end of the block. Pretty high class address. An early ad for Williams & Powell mentioning Ann Patrick: When an old man dies a library burns to the ground.
