Just got the .45 Meg and it is all they say it is, and more. I got some Seneca slugs which worked well and some round balls from Hornady (sp?). The round balls literally roll around in the gun. What size round balls should I be looking at getting for this particular gun?
AEA .45 megalodon round balls?

Hornady and most 45 cal round balls are .457 in diameter. You might not be able to source round balls ( 45cal) any larger. You might want to try coating them in lube or a bullet coating that may add a few thousands of an inch. This might give you a snugger fit.

I found .457 round balls from Speer. I hope they work, thanks for the reply. I’ll try the Lu e if I need the fix! Thanks again.

if you roll them between two files you can add .004 or .005 in diameter . knurling I forgot what it was called. if you have slugs that it shoots good a round ball the same size should be ok. round balls are cheaper to shoot and dont require near as much air either.

You can even spray paint them. Add extra coats if you need a tighter fit. Paint them blaze orange and you'll have tracer rounds! However, the paint might gunk up your barrel that will require cleaning more often.

You can also roll them between two pieces of window screen, This is what we did back in the old days. LOL Mark

Your welcome. This is what everyone was doing when the Korean guns came out and wanted to shoot pound balls. Mark
