I am intrigued by these awesome revolvers! But I have a few ?s I could not find answers for.
I see the caliber is anywhere from .454" to .457". Can .452 caliber 255 grn lead hardcast flat nose bullets for, say a 45 Colt, be used?
If not are there sabots that will utilize 44 Mag hardcasts?
And do the black powder substitute powders yield the huge puff of smoke as the traditional black powders do?
Sorry for my ignorance of black powder firearms.
