Best ball size for 44 cal

arcticap
wow I must say that sums it up, great photos and great explanation.
I know with all my cap and ballers I load a .454 and get a nice ring of lead.
I have a new 58 in SS ASM I havent had a chance to shoot it yet so maybe I need to break out the calipers and find out what it wants to eat.
again good post.
 
I always measure the chambers and slug the bore... .44 I found Piettas bore measures .451' ...Chambers at approx .445"... I mold with a Lee .451" RB spruelss(close) that measures .452" and is perfect for the Pietta .44 Rems or Colts. The Pietta .36's take a .375" RB...I jus' mention this to save breakin' a Rem Loadin' Lever Pin if the .454" are too tight.
I mostly Shoot .454" or .457" in Uberti, Armi San Paolo, and Euroarms Rems, E.N. Santa Barbara Rems, and Uberti Big Colts, and ROAs of course.
