Default Ball Guns:

I’m happy you enjoy shooting “ball” with your shotguns. I shoot shotguns with shot (plural). Many of my English doubles are stamped “Not for Ball”.
When I use “Ball” these .54’s are sufficient and effective. One is a 34-1/2” custom barrel that requires a long stick. I’m certain rifled barrels are more accurate with “ball” than smooth bores. I too enjoy casting bullets and balls.
As long as you are having safe fun, shoot them shotguns.

I have a circa 1881 W&C Scott back action crystal indicator 10 gauge that’s marked not for ball on the under side of both barrels also had a WW Greener fluid steel 10 with the safety on the side that was also marked the same .
