I have a Pedersoli .50 Kentucky flint pistol. When I first got it I tried using .015 patches with a .490 ball. This was almost impossible to get down the bore without a major effort. I have tried using .005 patches but I could only find them in .45 cal.. I just measured the bore at .496 on the lands and .505 on the grooves. My CVA mountain pistol in .50 measured .496 and .515 respectivly. Should I try a smaller ball, say .485 or .480 with a .015 patch?
