    New Cimarron 1876, bullet diameter?

    Hey guys,

    Just purchased a new Cimarron 1876 Centennial from BACO. Prior to this purchase, I bought a new Lyman 457191 mould and a .457 lube/sizer die, and cast about 100 bullets to start, lubed with SPG.

    Received the rifle yesterday, and slugged the bore: .454”, crap! My question is, should I try the .457” bullets, or purchase a .454 sizing die and re-size them all?

    If it makes a difference, I will only be shooting loads out of this rifle with real black powder, Swiss 1.5f and Olde E 2f.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
