I use H695B which might be equivalent to B6, I think. These plates tend to drop one, two, or three seeds, so I like to slow them way down. I don't have plates for smaller flat kernels, but if I did I would try them.

I have only planted oilseed sunflowers, never confectioner (edible) which are much bigger; at least, they are longer than the oilseed.

We always used corn plates. Soybean plates may work for small sunflowers but not the mamoth ones. Just run some and try them with it jacked up and roll it over and count seeds for one or how many turns of the wheel and distance and figure it out. Depends on what kind of sunflowers planting on what spacing you want anyway.
