[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1032162, member: 10178"] I got my 315 diameter lead balls from Midway they are Hornady. I remove the bolt and drop one into the chamber end and use the metal cleaning rod that comes with the rifle with a piece of wood on top of it to protect it while I hammer it into the bore as far as I can. I then use short pieces, about 6" long, wood dowel rod dropped in and use the cleaning rod to tap them until the slug drops out the muzzle. Sierra makes a 180 gr Soft point .312 bullet that does pretty good for hunting. You will get an awesome fireball from your short barrel. From my M44 and M38 carbine you can see a fire ball basket ball size in the bright sun light. :D [/QUOTE]
