The octagon barreled 1861 mentioned in the catalog is a misprint.
Not uncommon in this day of non editing prior to printing.
There was an octagon barrel and round barrel version of the 5 shot 36 colt.
As for the .380 vs .375 round ball. I like the 380 as it provides a tighter seal in the chamber. Also gives a tiny belt to be engraved by the rifling.
Oh yeah, it is also th only size I have,
