Hey guys how y'al doin,
I have a Colt 3rd gen SAA in .45 colt, I use those Hornaday 255grn .454 diameter swagged boolits in her and it works just fine, but I dont want to use my Colt as an everyday shooter. So I bought a Colt clone in .45 colt, a Heritage Roughrider big bore .45. I measured the cylinder mouths on the Heritage and they measured .4525, and the Hornaday .454 bullets don't drop through the cylinder, in fact the only way to push them through the cylinder is to use my pistol cleaning rod and give the boolit 3 to 4 sharp raps with the palm of my hand, thats what it takes to push them through the cylinder. So my question is, is that too tight?, are the .454 boolits to big for this gun? Any advice will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Paul
