Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
I have a old custom built rifle that has .437 ball stamped on the barrel. Is this a 45 cal or 44 cal. Use it for hunting and just want to make sure if ever asked. Either way I think it will do just fine on deer size game...
Roughly, the caliber is 44, maybe 45 if you measure to the bottom of the grooves. I'd call it a 44 just to be different from all the 45 caliber rifles out there.
You have a great input stamped on the bore. Use a ball of diameter 0.437" which you are doing as noted on the target. How thick is the pillow ticking? What lubricant did you use on the patch?
Call it whatever you want. "George" would be good. (-;
Many rifles were not built to perzact modern specs. As long as you have a mould don't sweat the nomenclature. Just shoot it.
