Fellas modified is the tightest one should use with steel shot. It doesn't compress like lead will and can break your barrel. I know someone will argue this, but why should you want to ruin your gun?...

That will not clean up. The 38/40 is as large at the base as a 44/40. Much larger than the 41 Colt.
