I would guess he's got bolt/latch offset from the cylinder pin holes that he can measure in the frame. An important point is that a six shooter has one chamber at 6:00 when another is at 12:00, and that offset often doesn't move the notch very far from the 6:00 chamber wall. It's a weak point on all six guns (the reason a lot of the heavy caliber modern revolvers are five-shot rather than six). On the other hand, the pressure of the 45 Colt is pretty low. Bottom line, though, is that I would try to err on the side of shallow and err on the side of as much offset as you think will still function.
