Default sighting in muzzleloader

I shoot the round balls out of my .50 caliber muzzleloader. I ran out of the round balls and was wondering what diameter balls to shoot?

.50 Caliber muzzleloaders should shoot either .490" or .495" round balls. The most common would be the .490". I shoot .490 round balls with .015" thick lubed patches.
