To be honest I know not what size 9 gauge would be . I first ordered a round ball mold of size .775” and tried it in the restored hammer 8 . And over times used masking tape to kinda patch the ball and tighten it up a bit . Then this year I ordered molds of .785” and .795” after getting the PH 8 as it was slightly more open at the muzzle . I’ve since shot all three sizes in the restored gun . In this endeavor getting a decent grouping has been far easier than getting a really good POI in relation to POA .
