Rather than hijack this thread feel free to start your own. Things tend to get less confusing that way.

I looked at the pictures, now I wonder why The Bradford Exchange hasn't come up with a special design

.433 balls and .010 patches (for .40 to .49cal) will work?

Sorry I've been away from my desk.
Yes the .433 balls should do fine. If the .010 patches are too tight get some fabric from a fabric store. Take your patches with you for comparison.

I want to thank you and everyone else. The gun fired just fine with these. Decently enough accurate too for round balls.
Also surprisingly quiet.
And I bought some black powder cleaning solution and cleaned in nicely

Okay, that was Friday, this is Sunday… Clean it again on Monday. Including pulling the percussion nipple and running a couple pipe cleaners through it.
If the cleaning patch comes out clean the first time, you are out maybe 15 cents and 5 minutes. If it comes out iffy/funky, keep going until it is clean. Then repeat in 3 days.
I just brought a ,54 rifle back from a 10 year nap. Fired one blank (powder and a few cleaning patches), cleaned it. Cleaned it again 3 days later. Will clean it again Tuesday. Why? Cleaning supplies, including oil/bore butter type rust inhibitor are cheap. Barrels and locks are expensive.
Happy shooting!
