    What size ball ?

    Just picked up my new toy today, single shot .44 and im trying to work out what size ball i need.

    Measured the barrel and it's averaging .446"

    Been shooting revolver for the last few years and i can't remember what thickness lubed patches come in ?

    Also need to pick up a ram rod / cleaning rod, any good online sources ?

    Krank

    Krank's do cleaning kits for front end loaders.

    balls/patchs

    Henry Kranks at Pudsey, Leeds for anything black powder. If your new toy is a .44 Lepage like mine i use a .435" ball with .010" patch. I find 18 grns of Kranks med or TS2 powder about right but you will probably have to experiment to find your own guns preference.

    Nice LePage, i used to shoot my mates Pedersolli LePage and also his Kuchenreuter which was a very lovely thing indeed.
    Mine is nothing nearly as special, just an old "Tingle"

    Ugly old thing but it's supposed to shoot well, time will tell
