    BTW, all mine are Uberti's. I've had a Pietta set up with 45C but my Dragoons were the first.
    I recently made a trade with Walt and ended up with a Pietta again ( 45C). Haven't tested the Pietta's yet ( as far as "heavy" loads) so can't give any insight with them.

    It's a fairly new Pietta, bought tail end last year. From what I am reading on the net my bore, groove,and cylinder are normal.

    I'll check my Pietta when I get home. I know the Uberti's are good, I shoot jacketed 230 and 250grs bullets.
    My thing about the Pietta's anyway is the slow twist . . .
    I'd think Walt would have brought the bore size up when we talk but he's never said anything about it.

    Yes would like to know what you get. I can't shoot a slug over the groove size, that's not right and round balls don't obturate up to the bore as well as conicals. Also out of my earlier cap n balls I could load 45 acp bullets in the cylinders with no problems, not this sucker!
