The best way is to actually "slug" the bore. Once you know that diameter, then you will know the proper size for that firearm.
As a rule, for safe loading, Jacketed 44's are .429 and lead is 430. Lead is usually .001 over the diameter to insure a good seal.

Well, I have no idea where or how to slug my barrel!!
My cleaning kit came with a slug attachment: not related, is it?
Good to know about the diameters though: those are the two most commonly listed sizes, so I probably can go with either!!
Really want to get my teeth into this reloading now!!
Waiting on the press and measure, and have to decide on powder (type) and bullets (type and source)
It's gonna be an "in the garage" summer!!
