RE: The Booth Deringer pistol
If the weapon was .44 cal., as stated, a .44 cal round, even if imperfect, would have no trouble being discharged with a load of at least 20 grains of powder. A smaller round could be used, but I'd think that would require a patch of some sort to make up the difference. I have .44 cal Navy revolver and squeezing that ball in makes a tight fit.
