My 1858 Pietta's cylinder throats run about .445-.449. The bore diameter is
.451",so the balls are hitting the forcing cone at a very reduced size. This has the result of giving terrible accuracy. Has anyone ever reamed out the cylinder/chamber throats on their BP revolver? I don't have a lathe so this might be a gunsmith project if it's even remotely feasible dollar-wise.
