Jim, I can't find the current page, but Ford's Theatre used to have a page in which it was claimed the bullet was .44 calibre. Is this incorrect?

Please see the first sentence here. Thanks.
I believe that is incorrect. Not that I, have had an opportunity to measure it, but the .42 would make sense with the wadding.
