It is not a pepper box, it is a fantasy revolver with no barrel just a long cylinder held on by a bolt.
Chambers measure 367 x 5 and one at 368. That pretty much means a patched .360 ball or two only, yes...which is 000 buck?
How about some homebrew rifling, is that possible?

In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
With a .360 ball and a .005 patch, will I be able to cram them in the cylinders with just a starter? I would assume so, since I can start a .490 ball with a .005 patch by hand, but I'm .003 smaller and no grooves and lands, so.... are there .004 or .003 patches?
Wait....what if I patched a .358 projo for a centerfire gun? That'd bring me to about bore size, .367. Still wonder if I'd get a round hole or rectangle hole. 360 RB weighs 72ish grains, so two would weigh the same as a 140gr SWC from a 38 special.

Maybe a .375 round ball, started with a small mallet and run home with a short starter...
