Ball size?

[GunHo198]

I have a Harpers Ferry pistol .58 cal. Pedersoli recomends a .575 ball. The ones I got are .570. And they just drop down the barrel. Is there going to be a deffemce when I use the patch for my first time fireing? Or should I try and find the .575?

Get some .015 and .020 patches and see which ones the gun likes, should be no problem.

Either one should work and either one will just drop down the barrel without a patch. WalMArt has pillow ticking. Get some of that, or use pre-cut pre-lubed patches from .010- .020 and see which works the best. Start with around 20-25 grs of 3f Black Powder and you can work from there.
