I picked up a Pietta 1861 Remington for cheap at the gun show a few weeks ago. Looking for the 44 cal lead balls now. I am seeing (.451/139 grain) and (.454/142 grain) both are called out as 44cal. Does anybody know which ones would be correct for my revolver ?
 
Either round ball would be fine. There is only .003 difference between the two diameters.

The .454 diameter is now considered “the new normal”. I’ve always used the .451 diameter round ball since the mid ‘70s and found they work just fine.
