I bought them because I have two .44 Specials, a Blackhawk and a new to me 24-3. The 24-3 has larger throats(a .429 jacketed bullet fall right through and a .430 cast goes pretty easy too) so I decided to try these (they are .431)
Bingo! You need to know the throat diameter. Wouldn't hurt to know the groove diameter as well.
I have several .45 long colt revolvers that exceed .457 in the throat. You have to know your pistol.
