    Round Ball in the Snider

    Just picked up a Snider .577 off T/M. About a year or so back I was talking to a guy who was shooting his using lead round ball. Any suggestions as to what size/ cal they would heve been or have I already stated the obvious .577.

    He was just loading the powder , primer and pushing the ball in on top. Had knocked over the odd deer with it to.

    Slug the bore, that'll give you the size your rifle shoots
    Muzzleloaders have big balls
