It is a properly over-sized ball or bullet that prevents chain-firing. The projectile should be at least .004" larger than the cylinder chamber diameter. Uberti .44 revolvers typically have a .450" chamber, so a .454" to .457" diameter projectile is loaded using the loading lever.
Putting grease over the projectile, or pre-greasing a ball or conical using melted beeswax prevents bore leading and fouling buildup with the repeat shots a revolver is capable of.

@leesherman100 I know, I was looking at it the other day and thought the same thing. I had actually set up the table because I had a bunch of stuff to test out, and then I shot this on the table longways. After looking at it later I thought it looked like a hospital bed as well.... :-).
