And a .433 ball won't fit? Right? Did you even consider calling Pedersoli to find out what they used for .44 caliber. You can look up the time the gun was proofed. It's a letter code. Get any website that has Italian proof marks for the information. Call Pedersoli and tell them the year it was proofed and a .433 ball will not fit. Also, you can pull the breech plug and slug the bore.
Addendum: What do the other marks on the gun look like? That's a Pedersoli?
That's an interesting idea.
But I would not pull the breech plug.
Yes, contact Pedersoli and complain about the bore being out of spec., they have an email.
Also contact the Pedersoli USA warranty & service repair shop, Lee Shavers, and ask him what to do.
If he can measure the bore and finds that it's defective, then maybe he can obtain a replacement barrel or an entire new gun for you free of charge.
He must have specialized equipment to measure and inspect the bore.
Or perhaps Pedersoli will want the gun shipped to them for inspection.
Then they could replace it gratis upon its return.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease and all of that you know......
If the gun won't shoot very well anyway, then what is there to lose by trying?
