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.

Sturm Ruger loading data 45 black powder pistol?
I use 30 grains of 3f goex and a horady .451 ball with a bore butter seal over the top. Gives good groups at upto 25 yards. I have also used substitute black powder, worked well but not as reliable.

How much blackpowder do you use in a 44 caliber cva pistol?
In your STEEL-FRAME "1851 Colt" pistol variants (made by CVA, Pietta, Uberti, etc.), you can use either a .451 diameter or .454 diameter lead ball (NOT a .45 caliber rifled bullet), and 30 grains of FFFg Black Powder. I recommend that you also use a "lubricated pistol wad" (NOT A PATCH) in between the powder and the bullet, so you don't "touch off" one of the other chambers, with a spark from the round you're planning to fire. In your BRASS-FRAME "1851 Confederate Navy Colt" pistol variants (also made by CVA, Pietta, Uberti, etc.), you should use ONLY USE a .451 diameter lead ball, and ONLY 25 grains of FFFg Black Powder. Brass is a much softer metal than steel, and your frame can crack if you use too much powder when you shoot it. Although Pietta "recommends" 30 grains, most reinactors will tell you that 25 grains is plenty enough to get the ball out of the barrel, and it is even more consistently accurate at 25 yards! Most "starter kits" come with a 30 grain spout, but the "Confederate" (brass-frame) Colts are made from a softer metal, and you should use less powder in them, just to be on the "safe side". You can find a 25 grain spout that will fit most powder flasks at www.PossibleShop.com

Can 451 ball double barrel muzzle loader leinad be converted to a 410 double barrel judge?
NO, not safely anyway. the black powder guns use a much larger barrel pivot pin that their firearm counterparts. to switch from the black powder to accept a 410 barrel you would have to drill out the pivot pin hole on the .410 barrel to accept the larger pin, the black powder barrel support arm is thicker, to account for this....the .410 barrel support arm will become to thin from the drilling making it prone to creak or break.... need anything leinad related? guns, parts, kits, pictures, advice? contact me. xthexheadx@gmail.com
