GOB,
I have a .44 Remington M1858 New Army and suggest you consider the Remington. I have a Colt .44 and use it only for historical discussions as a prop. My Manual recommended .451 Balls. I tried them with poor results and then tried .454 and .457 Balls. The .457 are best with 25 grains of 3F Goex. My .44 shoots to the sights at 25 yards with that load.
The Remington has a top strap, easier take down and is a better buy for the money in my opinion.
