I have an 1858 Remington, in 36 caliber made by Uberti in 1964 and imported by Navy arms .
A .375 ball is too loose and will slip out under recoil, after 3 0r 4 shots and jam the cylinder.
A .380 ball is tighter, and stays in place but does not "shave a ring of lead" on loading.
I have forced both sizes throuh the bore from the muzzel and as far as I can tell both measure .375 or smaller.
Any solution to this problem?
