Hawkdancer:
I think a .50 cal rifle would be real close to .50.  I use a .490 round ball and a .15 patch in my .50 cal.
Caliber is a bore diameter measure, many real old timers could tell the number of balls to the pound.
I think I read somewhere that .50 cal is approx 39 ga.  Fun shooting and also a good hunting gun!
