I wouldn't have thought .003" oversize with soft lead balls would present any problem.
Does anyone know where I could get .451 lead balls for my Uberti cattleman please ?
I have some .440 & .454 lead balls for my rifles but think it might be a risk to use them
Any help would be appreciated
Because of health reasons I'm in no fit state to do my own casting
Cheers Stephen

You're probably right but I haven't got much experience
Thanks Stephen
The little leaflet that Uberti include with these suggests either .454 or .457.
The first time I shot mine, I only had .457 but they were almost breaking my loading stand getting them seated so I got a .454 mould to use instead and that seems about right for those chambers.
I've yet to find a good powder load I'm afraid...

Hi Steve,
both my guns were second hand and didn't come with instructions.
Could you possibly email some pictures of the instruction leaflet please ?
