what size lead bullet works best in a 40 s&w vaquero...and would it be the same size for the 38-40?
TX Nimrod said:Best to slug both the bore and the cylinder throats. If the latter are smaller than the former, you'll need soft bullets or leading and iffy accuracy may result.
Yep. My .38-40 Blackhawk had extremely tight cylinder throats. This led to lots of barrel leading and so-so accuracy. After having the chamber throats reamed it does much better.TX Nimrod said:Best to slug both the bore and the cylinder throats.
