    how about some round balls?
    When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.

    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.
