Traditions A1642 .44 Cal Revolver Lead Balls - .454 Diameter, 140 Grains, 100-Pack
Traditions
If you shoot a .44 caliber muzzleloading revolver, you need ammunition sized precisely for your bore. The Traditions A1647 .44 Cal Lead Ball Revolver Ammunition delivers .451-diameter pure lead round balls engineered for the consistent accuracy and reliable performance that black powder revolvers demand. Each 140-grain ball is swaged to exacting tolerances, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency whether you're hunting with a period-correct revolver or practicing at the range. A 100-count bulk pack means you'll have plenty on hand for extended shooting sessions without breaking the bank.
These lead balls work best when paired with a quality patching system. Traditions offers lubed patches for easier loading and more efficient sealing, or you can use dry patches and apply Traditions EZ Lube before shooting. Either way, the result is a tight, consistent fit in your .44 revolver's chambers—critical for accuracy and safe, reliable ignition in a black powder gun.
Whether you're restoring an antique, competing in muzzleloading matches, or exploring traditional firearms hunting, having proper ammunition on hand removes guesswork from the range or field. These swaged lead balls meet the ballistic and dimensional needs of .44 revolver shooters who refuse to settle for substandard ammo.

These .451-diameter lead balls are designed for .44 caliber muzzleloading revolvers. If you're unsure whether your specific revolver is .44 caliber or another size, verify your gun's bore diameter before ordering—using ammunition that doesn't match your bore can cause unsafe pressures or poor performance.
Yes. These lead balls must be loaded with either Traditions lubed patches or dry patches (with Traditions EZ Lube applied). The patch seals the ball in the chamber and engages the rifling, which is essential for accuracy and reliable ignition in a black powder revolver.
A 100-count pack contains 100 individual lead balls. Since a typical muzzleloading revolver holds five or six chambers, you'll have ammunition for roughly 16–20 full loads (depending on your gun's capacity).
Yes, these lead balls are suitable for hunting with a .44 caliber muzzleloading revolver, provided you follow your local hunting regulations and practice adequate marksmanship with your specific firearm.
