44/40 question

[sixgun MAK]

Just wondering who out there shoots any 44/40s in their revolvers. What diameter bullet are you using? I currently use .428 for my Uberti Yellowboy with good accuracy. Can I expect to be able to use the same diameter bullet in a Uberti revolver, with accuracy? It's to my understanding the barrels are sized at .429. Thanks for any comments, suggestions, or opinions.

I use .428"s whenever I can find them. When I can't I load .427"s.
But all I do with my .44-40s is CAS and the targets are large and close.

I would use .429"s if they would chamber freely but they don't except with some older Winchester brass.
