Yes FREEDOM ARMS gets it right, they get all of if right. You get what you pay for with out a doubt. But as far as Ruger, S&W, and others it you are gona drill a hole could you at least make it the correct size? I just don't think thats asking too much.

my SS/Blkhwk 45 colt was a .450 opened to .453 so it should shoot fine ...
i had a vaquero BCC 4 3/4" with a .445 throat and a rough chamber that would still take a factory 45 colt round , as you can imagine recoil was murder...
accuracy was nonexistant...

I AGREE...DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME....AND KEEP ALL FIVE OR SIX HOLES EXACTLY THE SAME.....DOESN'T SOUND TOO HARD TO ACCOMPLISH....  |

It was short lived. I know someone that bought a recently built 45 Colt. As before, they mic'd between 0.448 and 0.450". -Lee www.singleactions.comI was under the impression that the New Vaqueros were the only 45s with correct throat dimensions. |

Ruger has no monopoly on throat dia. issues in .45 Colt. At least small can be fixed. I've got a S&W Model 25-5 with throats that measure a full .459  So what do you do in that situation, get a 44 mag cylinder bored out to 45 Colt with correctly (.4525) sized throats and fitted to your gun? |

A lot has been posted about the 45 colt throat dia. but what would be the best diameter for the 357 BH. conv.? I shoot mostly hard cast 158 gr.LSWC sized to 358. I havent measured . the cylinder yet. I have been shooting up a lot of older reloads of different powder charges so I really dont know what kind of group its capable of yet.
Could this job be done on a Sunnen Hone or is reaming better if needed?

A sunnen hone is the way to go if you have one.

Sounds like a lot of polishing.

Not with a Sunnen it will take care of the throats fast.
