Hey friends. I want to replace the cylinder on my original Colt army 1860 because it's not in good condition and I want to put it back to work. I found these two (check out the links below) The Uberti is saying it also fits on an original. But it's out of stock, so I have to deal with the...

I'm trying to work reloads up to the original .357 round (158 gr at 1500 fps). I'm worried about blowing my cylinder. Does anyone have data on what the recommended and upper limits are for cylinder pressure?
