You load the ellipietta 44 by putting in a measure of black powder or black powder substitute not more than 45 grains, then place a .451 caliber ball on the cylinder atop the powder and press it in with the ram attached to the gun under the barrel, seating it firmly. Each hole is then sealed with gun butter or Crisco to prevent multiple discharge. The nipples must be capped for the same reason. I have to squeeze the caps slightly to prevent them from falling off the nipples. If one wishes to safely carry the ellipietta 44 for immediate use it is necessary to leave one cylinder empty for the hammer to rest upon.
The diameter. A .41 cal is about 41/100ths of an inch, and a .44 cal about .44/100ths of an inch, In real life, the measurements may be slightly different, but in general, the .44 cal is larger.
