What size rb should I use for a .36 Pietta cap and ball? I need to order some and I think it's the .35 but I want to be sure. Can anyone advise as to a good supplier?

Um , I don't see nasty stuff, must be removed. I just wanted to add that yes the bores on .36 Revolves vary . My Lyman/ ASM .36 Rem "new Navy" uses .375 dia, as does my Pietta 1851 Colt Navy. The 1862 Colt New Police Uberti made does like .380" to get a tight fit. I was really dissappointed to find my .36 rifles use .350 balls. . Same for .45 Pistol/rifles with the pistols using either .451 balls in most to .454" + balls for the Walker and my .45 rifle take .433 " !
I have a variety of 36’s so I use both. Most take the .375. A Navy Arms Remington has chamfered chamber mouths so does better with the 380. A .380 of soft lead will just have that extra .5000 shaved off when loaded.
That was a test and you passed..5000 is also know as 1/2". You sure you don't mean .005? Lol.
