I had always read Uberti made their chambers 0.450".
My Pietta NMA had the chambers reamed to 0.449" and share the 0.457" ball and 0.456" bullets as my ROA.
Probably differs by year of manufacture, who knows. Both of mine are 2014 make and all 4 cylinders have .448" chambers. Of course my calipers have an accuracy of 0.001", so the measurement might be wrong. Others have reported .449" chambers on their Ubertis of also recent manufacture.
The groove diameter in the Uberti is advertized (
http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/bore-groove-twist/) at .458" (.440" lands), while on the competition Hege-Uberti it's advertized at .447" (.439" lands) and visually there exists a difference.
However it's hard to measure since it has 7 grooves to confirm, so I have to take the catalogue as relevant. Measuring a bullet rammed through the barrel seems to agree, but this is too imprecise due to uneven number of grooves.
I need to borrow a chronograph from someone (or buy one) and run a full battery of tests with different loads to see how much difference it makes in both velocity and accuracy. From observation, pure lead 200 grain conicals are very accurate in the Uberti. My guess is that they obturate and together with the fouling they form an adequate gas seal. However, only a true test with a chronograph and weighted charges would reveal everything.
As for round ball, I use .454 in both, but I have used .457 also which takes a bit more force to ram in. The Uberti is, however, zeroed for conicals (with a six hold assuming a firm high grip, or a sub-six hold with a less firm grip) and that's what I shoot out of it mostly.
