can you give a link to where to get them, I only find what I am guessing is the small one.I find that three sizes of ball puller work well. The smallest one might pull the ball, but it usually strips out instead. The next bigger size goes into the hole that was just stripped out. If that doesn't work then the biggest, lag bolt size, will pull the ball. Make sure that you have put some oil down the barrel to help the patch/ball combination slide out.
these are all the same size screws with brass collars for different calibers so you don't jack up your rifling. guess I am going to have to do it the hard way and heat the barrel up to melt out the lead which is gonna be some horrible cleanup.Track of the Wolf has all the blackpowder items that you need.

Buck67; I have never heard of anyone having to melt the lead out of the bore. I am not sure that I would trust a barrel after it had been subjected to that much heat.[/QUOTE said:Yeah what he said, also remember you have gunpowder in there that even if wet with heat it will dry, and then can go boom...y .
I think before you melt the bullet out you want to see a gunsmith..
And to help, try JM Gunsmithing (317) 557-9705 He is on the south side of Indy.. He i fast, does quality work, And does it at such a reasonable cost some would say cheap...
Oh, it is a Thompson Center .50 Pennsylvania Hunter percussion cap lock.Atalon, you haven't told us what kind of gun you have. Instead of melting the lead out there are a few options I will list them here in order of ease.
