im well familiar with what the cartridge is and how to reload it, and its a better choice for an 1860 conversion than 5-round 45 colt.. which is fine for someone wanting to do CAS, but id rather stay with historical accuracy instead

also, i see 44 colt cylinders for the 1858 quite often... kind of strange though youd see the cylinder for a pistol that never fired it, but not for the one that fired it almost exclusively
