Cast bullets for revolver (cylinder throat v's bullet size)

[f55]

I picked up a ruger redhawk on friday, checking the cylinder throats they are coming in at .4315

For those who have experience with revolvers and lead bullets, i wanted to ask if .433 would be ok to use or is .0015 to much over?

433 don't fall straight through and require a dowel and hammer to get them through the cylinder.

Would i need to reduce the charge by few grains to account for increased pressure?

I have a new lee size die coming which will hone to .432 but for now i have .433 to use.

Thanks.

Not a revolver expert but I would be more concerned over the bullets fitting the barrel .
My understanding is that lead bullets usually expand in the throat unless they are cast real hard.

With revolvers cylinder throat size is as important as barrel size, from what i have read.
