Hi all,
A friend of mine lent me his .44 caliber Kentucky pistol made by Pedersoli to try out. i was assuming that .45 balls would work, but does the .44 take a smaller size usually? I put a .440 ball over the muzzle, and it fit, but didn't fall down he barrel like .530 balls do in my 54 cal Lyman plains pistol. Makes me wonder if a .440 ball and a .45 cal .010" patch will fit correctly.
Any thoughts?
