I had the exact same thought! "It is .430 because that is the diameter we make!"
Back when Frank Barns still had Barns Bullets, He would make you any bullet you desired, but you had to but at least 1000 of them. Soft or Solid point, Flat or round nose, any weight, any jacket thickness, and ANY Diameter!
When nobody offered 300 grain 44 cal bullets, Frank did! I still have half a box of .431-300 gr- soft flat point-.032 wall bullets. I believe he intended these for rifles only, but my Super 14 Contender loves them. The included loading Data would blow a Model 29 to pieces, but my Contender, Marlin 336 (only made one year), & 1894 (second year), and Super Blackhawks all loved that load!
