Maybe it's just me, but it seems the newer models both colt and remington style the manufacturers are making the loading area smaller.
For some reason maybe they want us to use only round balls.
Couple my older models had plenty of room.
While you may not want to do it for a variety of reasons it really won't affect the guns strength or durability if you use a dremel to slightly open the loading area. polish it and then reblue it. Done it to several of mine.
Or you can do as suggested, load the cylinder off the gun.
I do cast and sell both the Lee 45-200 and a custom swc design 45-195
the 45-195 has a rebated base for slightly easier loading.
Going to be doing another custom one in the next week or so.
