So I just picked up my first firearm in .44 WCF, a Taylor and Co. 1873 Cattleman, and I need to start reloading for it. I found a fair price for a box of 500 lead bullets that were marked for 44-40 reloads. The possible problem is, these bullets are sized .430. At the time, I was not aware of the different sized chambers and bores ranging from .427 to .430. Am I going to blow up my gun if I load these .430 bullets and shoot them, if in fact my chamber/bore is .427? Any other tips for reloading the .44-40 cartridge would be greatly appreciated too. I heard its a little more to it than the .45 colt that I'm used to. Thanks all!
