The right size RBs

[dlbarr]

Need opinion(s):

Will .395" cast round balls fit in a Pietta .36 cal?

I know they're BIGGER, but are they too much bigger?

It would be a bit larger than what most use . On my .36 the chambers are right at .375 and I use .380 roundballs. I have heard of some using .39 but it is not necessary.

They're probably only too big if you break your rammer handle tryin' to seat 'em!

If you have a separate loading press, you'll probably be ok. Just cuts a bigger lead ring. Might be too much strain for the guns rammer to bear.
