Now that's interesting. I have never heard of anyone using a patched ball in a revolver!
Yes, the ball is oversized so that it cut's or has shaved off a small ring of lead as it's squeezed into the cylinder

: .433 patched round lead ball with 20 grains
: (by volume not weight) of Pyrodex P.
: Pyrodex is easier to obtain than black
: powder. Don't use balls sold for a .44
: revolver, they are intentionally oversize.
: As a starter you can use a tight weave
: cotton cleaning patch a a ball patch.
: Saturate the patch with Crisco.
: Look up muzzle loader loading on the web for
: precise instructions. Rifles and pistols
: are loaded much the same.

: I just got a 44cal percussin pistol. I think
