the .451 ball is the old standard for the .44 army revolver. the .44 refers to the bore size of barrel. Cylinder is slightly larger to hold ball with slight interference- the forcing cone of barrel is rifling lapped down to allow ball to get into barrel without shaving too much and jamming next round. .36 barrels used .375 nominal balls to .380-- that is one reason the term .38 caliber came about for the .358 bores- the "Ball" was .38 "caliber/size" and early cartridge conversions used a case and bullet same size-think of .22 rimfires. Your use of term .45 is a accepted - but secondary use- form indicating the size of "ball" used. I used to use the .454 in Remington replica, the Cap and Ball Ruger old Army gets .457 balls or bullets- there was some variation in old civil war pistols- machining slop varied- and a lot of replicas were made with a slightly out of spec master to be copied, different manufacturing process- the cast steel frames instead of machined iron frames example- and Spanish, Italian, german replicas sometimes used the modern barrel rifling as their equipment was set up for on modern guns. The old S&W .38 cartridge with a 363/365 bullet is closest to what most of civil war barrels had.
