I was considering getting one of these from taylors firearms chambered in 38 special with the 7 1/2 barrel, but i have a few questions. 1.) I know cap and ball revolvers have a .375 barrel and a 38 special bullet is .357. does the 1851 richards masons revolver already have a barrel chambered for 38 special (.357) or does it require hbwc bullets? 2.) What kind of ammo could i shoot out of it, say like regular standard 38 special loads or would i have to get the cowboy lower pressure loads. I figured the standard 38 special load would be okay since there one of the lowest pressue rounds there is. 3.) Could you shoot 38 Long Colt out of the 1851 richards masons revolver too since it's practically the same round?
