Doble Troble

I've been wanting one of these for a while and finally picked one up at the gunshow that went through here last weekend.
Its the low-end blued version with a 7 1/2" barrel. I'm hoping that I can make a shooter out of it.
I took the cylinder out of it and slugged one of the chambers and the bore. The chamber specs at 0.449" and the groove diameter of the bore is 0.452". On the face of it this doesn't seem to be a good combination of dimensions. I'm thinking about reaming the chambers. If I go this route should I bore them out to 0.452?
I haven't shot it yet, and have several bullets cast up (all are 0.452). I'm thinking I may need to get another mold to drop a bit fatter bullet for this 0.452" bore
