A .54 bullet being about .540" diameter will fit and will shoot from a .58 caliber (.580" diameter) gun but wouldrequire a sabot or a great deal of patch material to be even slightly accurate. The bullet needs to be in contact with the rifling of the barrel either directly or via the patch or sabot, to impart the spin on the bullet that gives it accuracy, and to seal the explosion behind the projectile to give it velocity. There are sabots available from most muzzle loading supply retailers that would solve this and give you a viable projectile.
