Should I use a .44 caliber round ball in a .45 caliber muzzle loader?
Typically a round ball .440 inches is used, together with a greased cloth patch about .015 inches in thickness. This results in a "squeeze" fit of the ball to the barrel. If you have a modern muzzle loader, we would urge you to contact the maker, and get the owner's manual for YOUR rifle- most are free, and available on line as a download. If you have an ORIGINAL muzzle loader, please do not attempt to shoot anything in it until a competent gunsmith has inspected it. And NEVER use anything but black powder (or a legitimate black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex) in a muzzleloader.
Is gun powder and black powder the same?
Answeryes, a muzzle loader and black powder are just two different names for the same thing.Black powder is a term that also includes a category of guns that fire black powder cartridges. So these guns were breech loaders and do not load from the muzzle. Also the early black powder revolvers were loaded by ramming the charge into the cylinders---not the muzzle. These could also be referred to as black powder pistols and not muzzle loaders.I just call them "smoke poles" myself.Also, the early Colt pistols fired black powder and a ball. These are called "black powder pistols" or "cap and ball pistols". If I was referring to shooting a Colt, I would say I shoot a black powder gun; I would not refer to it as a muzzle-loader.
