I'm curious if any of ya'll have slugged and/or measured your barrels and cylinders/throats on your USFA's?  I'm gonna be slugging my .44-40 Rodeos as soon as I can find a piece of lead the right size (been looking all over the house without luck and it's driving me crazy, which is part of the reason I'm asking this question here). At some point I'll slug my Premium .45, too. 

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know here what your .44-40's, .45's (and any other caliber, for that matter) measured out to. It might be a good resource to have on this board, too. Thanks!

Thank you, sir!  Good to know, since all my .45 lead is .452.
