I will advise ya not to use non pure lead or hardcast clip on wheel weights in any C&B or Flintlock guns at all. Especially revolvers as the ball won't swedge into the chamber of the cylinder and shave a couple thou off lead rings. Then when fired the ball would not bump up enough from the chamber to the riflin' of the barrel...either way they don't work well. Now I have read that the stick on wheel weight are pure enough, I don't know that for sure though.
