I've determined that the .310's I already had are too small for my new Uberti 1849 Pocket model. Should I go for .315's, .320's or .321's?

Do you know of a current source for bags of Single 0 buck?
Only place I found on line is proud of their hardness. It is geting expensive t salvage shot drom shot shells! For that matter it is getting hard to find Single 0 shells to cut up.
Last show I attended I spent some time digging through a "Shotshells $0.25 each" box and found not a one.....though I did score three factory BRI sabot slugs in 12 gauge and a 20 guage foster all for a buck. Jimminey, I am starting to sound like Levi.

I use their 0000 buck (about .382) in my 1851 Uberti Navy, loading with the rammer on the gun, and have no problems. I don't have an 1849. The shorter rammer might need a "cheater" on it to seat the ball comfortably, but it would surprise me if it did not work ok. If they work, it is pretty cheap ammo. If they don't work, you could melt them down into bullets for cartridges, or sell them to someone who can and get some of your money back. It's not much to risk.J-Bar,
"It is alloyed with 6% antimony for extra hardness."
That would be the one I found and commented on. I am concerned that the "extra hardness" might be ruough on the loading lever and linkages, even more so on the Remington .31 than the Colt.
Might be that or nothing though for bags of shot.
