I too had to click on it to open it. But then it opened fine.

I have to agree that a larger ball is a much better hunting alternative then smaller. Yet many prefer the smaller ball. An old friend of mine has hunted deer for years with a .45 caliber Kentucky model round ball twist rifle and has never had a problem harvesting deer with it. But remember, where we hunt, shots are close and we pick out shots. Still, he shot a huge buck one year, right through the heart and he claimed he only tracked it 50 yards.

I like the .54 caliber. I have yet to harvest a deer with the .58 caliber. Only because I never liked to carry that pipe around in the woods. If the deer ever return to my area, I might have to give that a try.
