I recently purchased a Pietta .36 Navy pistol and the seller said to use between 18 and 22 grains of powder which is about right.
He said to use a. 360 balls and I asked why? He said that Pietta had at times designed their pistols to use .360 balls, this pistol was made in 2004. Has anyone else heard this?
My experience has been to use either .375 or .380 balls in my Uberti .36’s.
Think I will start with .360 and see how much lead is shaved when seating the balls.
I use a loading stand to seat the balls and am not worried about stressing the loading lever.
