    I would recommend slugging the barrel.
    years ago, I owned one that was WAY over spec (.454), I'm not sure how rare (or common) it is to be that oversize? but that's the first bit of info I would want, when trying to figure out what size boolit.

    Slugging the barrel is always the best starting point.
