jeeper90 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 My brain has a problem with the barrel being 44 caliber with a .429 bullet and putting 45 colt chamber with bullets at .452, math says that .023 difference? And Schofield is even larger. I have loaded for 35 years for USPSA, IPDA, IPSC, Long range and cowboy. Again .44 to .45 is a big difference to squeeze down a barrel.

Smokewagon Grampies Black powder revolvers are assigned caliber designations using different measurements than modern firearms. A .44 caliber revolver actually had a barrel blank bored to around .44” and then the rifling was cut to a depth of .452” A modern .45 Colt revolver has the same rifling depth. A .36 caliber black powder revolver has a bore of around .36” with the rifling cut to .375” Modern revolvers in that range are not even close - a .38 Special actually has around a .34 something bore with rifling cut to .357” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 44 C&B revolvers use .451-.457 balls. .36 caliber C&B guns use .380 balls. Just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Joker Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Can measure from groove base to groove base or land tip to land tip. BP guns left room for patch material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
