Can a .44mag bull barrel be reamed to 45 colt?
Any idea of cost and who could do it?
Thanks in advance.

What scratchmark said.
The 44 barrel is a smaller dia than the 45 colt
.429 vs .452 Thus that’s why the rebore.
You could however ream the 44 mag to a 445 supermag with only reaming the chamber.
The 445 SM is just a lengthened 44 Mag
It would have to be on a SB2 ( Rifle ) receiver.
You would need to reload or buy specialty Ammo from someone like reeds ammo.
Just another thought.
