I've recalculated the numbers for the LeMat using best guesstimates of powder charges. The decimal measurements are caliber and grains of powder (i.e. .42-16 is a .42" ball and 16 grains of powder). The shotgun has two statlines for ball and for shot.

The 60 grain load for the .56 is the midpoint of what was used in Civil War carbines (Merrill's used 50 grains, Colt's 60 grains, and Burnside's 75 grains), while the 75 grain load for the .58 matches the rifle-musket. Barrel lengths are 19.687" (50cm) for the revolver and 17.375" (44.1325cm) for the center.

Pinfire and centerfire carbines would tend to have the shotgun barrel, while the muzzle-loader might have any of the center barrels. The 9R calibers will still be slow to load, since they require single ejection of spent cases with a non-spring-loaded punch and single loading of new rounds through a gate.
