[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1815761, member: 28965"] [SIZE=4]You do not want the cylinder throats to be "smaller" than bullet diameter. I got two Ruger .44 Specials last year, a Blackhawk and GP 100 and check them both for cylinder throat and bore diameter. [B][B]Brownells' Cylinder Throat Reamer for .45 Revolvers[/B][/B] [B][B][URL]https://gunblast.com/Brownells_Reamer.htm[/URL][/B][/B] You can also have a problem where the barrel bore diameter becomes smaller where it screws into the frame. This chokepoint in the barrel will squeeze the bullet diameter smaller and cause accuracy and leading problems.
