Why wouldn't you use water? Never heard of anyone getting rust if they do it right. After the wash and rinse in super hot water I like to shake off as much as possible, paper towel dry, then bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 175 degrees...then cool for 20 minutes, then blast the innards with WD-40. Last, wipe the outside with RemOil or Ballistol.

.454 is probably the right answer for the balls. Are you sure you didn't just do a typo when you said .445?
