I want to preface up front, I'm not asking about the performance of .44 magnum vs .45 Colt. I reload for both so they are close enough to call it even.
Does anyone know if the dimensional control is any better for a .45 Colt vs a .44 magnum? It frequently seems that the tolerances for .45 Colt are often a bit looser than those for .44 mags such as with revolver cylinder throats, looser chambers, or bore diameters. I've also read that at least in the past, the Rossi 92s often shipped with .454" bores which would annoy me as I don't want to have to load separate ammo for my rifle vs my handguns. Do the .44 mags typically spec out how one would expect? Do the .45 Colts still have issues with looser chambers?
