Seating Lead In 1851 Navy

[smoothshooter]

I'm using Hornaday .375 36 cal lead balls in an 1851 Navy. I loaded with 20 grains and and a wonder wad. I used a loading stand (1st time) All of the balls fell out. Any suggestions? The cylinder chambers still have the powder and wads. Should I try larger balls?

Use .380” in Uberti .36 revolvers.

Yup, it's definitely second hand.
