I just got an 1858 Pietta and have only shot it with a taylor conversion thus far and quite like it. I'm about to head to the store and grab some balls for the BP cylinder and figured I'd measure the throats to see which size ball to grab.
Well they're all really consistent which is good, .445 and change. But isn't that way too small? Shouldn't the throats be slightly bigger than barrel diameter?
