I have searched handloading, gunsmithing and this forum to no avail (that speaks to me, not the forums ) so I will post here: I know that older 45 Colts used .454 diameter bullets and at some point bullets and/or bores moved to .452 causing issues with lead bullets, cylinder/forcing cone/groove diameters, degraded accuracy etc. Could someone expound on that? I am buying a USFA SAA Doug Turnbull 45 Colt and I am just hoping that a revolver with that provenance would be in sync, so to speak. I'm a boolit caster, so sizing them to the revolver isn't a problem, but I need to get a refresher on the issue (I can still go to a 44 Spl, but I really want a 45 Colt) .
Thanks in advance,
