Mr. Akins, I am sure this is a sleepy finger moment (you posted at 3am)
But I think you meant the ball caliber in grains of powder not the ball weight in powder (.45 caliber ball to 45 grains of powder or 50 gr to a .50)
As a .490 50 caliber ball weighs about 177 grains, and I would never suggest someone load that much powder in a front stuffer.

You are absolutely correct. I meant ball caliber in grains of powder (as you said), not the ball weight in grains of powder. It was very late and I am full of pain pills for my back and made that mistake. Thanks for catching that so no one would adversely think I meant ball weight. Good catch!
