Well confirmed is a strong word being, all the cylinders are interchangeable and could have been modified, but I would say likely.

Hi Doc, Looked over my large frame Remingtons and found I have a Army Conversion that is 46 caliber. I thought I did, but just double chedked..If I pick up a SA in .357, what powder and charge would suggest. Jim

Hi Jim.
As far as a load you can use any of the loading manuals BUT I wouldn't use 357 rather 38 special.
I my self only shoot black powder. If you get the 44-40 that is a more proper cal. for the gun.
I don't beleave remington ever made a .38 cal. But it's a fun cal. to shoot.
Doc

BTW glad to hear you found out the cal. of your gun, You lucky guy :D
