Bought some swaged lead Hornady Cowboy bullets and hope they will bump up upon firing to help with the oversized throats.

Mckenney99, you might want to contact Uberti and see if they can do anything about your cylinder. Mine measures 0.452" at the throats measured with pin gauges. I bought it new in the box in June of 2016.
I do have some .45 Smith & Wesson brass that I intend on handloading for at some point just for the heck of it. I understand that moderate .45 ACP loading data with 230 grain cast round nose bullets should give good results and fairly close to the original .45 S&W loadings.
