in my Pietta Remington. It's a little more difficult to ram the 457 ball, but no big deal. Doesn't seem to affect elevation. I haven't had enough time to work on loads, so I couldn't make a call on accuracy--but I was making one big hole at 50 feet -- about four inches low--with the .457 balls. I also have a Ruger OA so I had the bigger balls around.

I'm going to burn a bunch of powder thru my Rem tomorrow maybe I'll learn something.

IMVHO, I think you'd be ok with just the .457 balls for the Remington.
