Correct size ball for a .36 caliber revolver is actually .375. When you press the ball into the cylinder it should shave off a small circular ring of lead.
I see, I was not aware of that, but then again I probably would have learned once I did some research before firing it, or when I tried to buy lead balls for it.
I thought that sounded odd, but then again. This is my first black powder firearm.You don't need wadding or a patch in a revolver, but they say you should use grease over the ball in the gap left between the ball and the barrel.
I was planning on loading all six, but only right before firing. I've also heard that some people used to rest the hammer between cylinders so that they could safety carry 6 shots, but this seems somehow hard on the revolver (making do something it wasn't intended to do).It is also recommended that you only load 5 cylinders.
