I would suggest you get some 44 brass and fill them with as soft of lead as you can to the depth you want and use a bullet remove hammer to get them out so it is easy to beat them down the barrel. If you don't have any soft lead, just pull some bullets out of 22's and you can remelt this as many times as you want.

I have a mold for .440 round ball. Will that work for what you want?

Why does it take 8 bullets for one barrel?

Gently tap the nose of any cast .44 with a light hammer, and it will swell right up to any size you want.

I use a accurate arms 43-317p mold and 22 grains of 4227.I'm getting 2" groups at 100 yards .You will probably have to make a taller front sight.I think mine was .090 taller.I can send you a handfull if you want to try them.Just get me a address.James
