Butler mfg inc black powder hand gun need powder load size?
I would need to know the caliber and type (revolver, single shot. flintlock, percussion) to answer the question exactly, but the best place to start is with as many grains of powder as the caliber divided by half for a hand gun or revolver as a MAXIMUM LOAD. So a .45 cal. would be about 20-23 grain. I usually start out around 12-15 grains and work from there.

Why does a 44 black powder pistol shoot 451 and 454?
A black powder pistol (single shot) in 44 caliber should take a .420 - 435 ball, A revolver on the other hand will take a .451 - 454 ball, the reason being when you load the cylinder of the revolver with a larger ball than the bore, you will shave a small ring when you ram the ball over the powder, thus creating a tight seal that prevents the gases from escaping around the ball and lessening the chance of a crossfire (several chambers going off at once) I have included a link to a pictorial guide that can explain far better than I can.

What diameter round ball would you use in your ASM Black Powder cap and ball revolver?
It would depend on caliber, for a .44 caliber you would use a .441 to .445 ball, for 36 cal use a .362 - .365 ball or conical bullet, You want to have your ball slightly larger than the chamber size so when seated you shave a thin ring as the ball is rammed into the cylinder chamber thus sealing the powder charge from moisture and cross fire and giving the best performance with your load.
