I have a .36 cal Remington 1858 model with the barrel sleeved to .357 and it works great. Using an R&D conversion cylinder, I can fire .38 Special and .38 Long and Short Colt without using a hollowbase bullet. I shoot store bought "Cowboy" loads of smokeless cartridges and hand loaded black powder cartridges through it. You barely notice the the sleeve at the end of the muzzle. I'll try and post a pic later.
