My Vaquero has excessive leading.

Anyones now where I can buy a tool to enlarge the cylinder throats to the size they should be in the first place?

Do not know where. But my buddy has same Vaquero with 7 1/2 barrel he has not noticed any leading. But he like I am a novice at Handguns. Will forward this info to him to check out.

Are the bullets the right size? That would be an easier fix than reaming out the throats...

Small brake cylinder hone maybe if they really do need to be opened up. I can't remember how small they go.

Try Brownells for a chamber throat reamer. Cut off the head off a fired cartridge case and slip it on the reamer to keep it centered. I think Brian Pearce did an article on this subject in Handloader or Rifle in the past year. It would be worth while tracking it down and confirming the reamer source. If throats are too tight they limit the size of bullet you can use appropriate for the barrel.
