You want a kinetic round with a diameter of 1m?

That's waaaayyyyy bigger than the rounds for the Galactica appear to be. If you look closely at some of the scenes where the turrets are shown in action, you can actually see a couple of spacesuited [CGI] crewmembers moving about inside the turrets through the transparent canopy.

No...it isn't. If anything, the bores on Galactica's main turrets are larger than a man is tall.

Just for illustration purposes...

Here's pic someone over on Wolf's Shipyards did when he was advocating that they were rocket assisted plasma pusher railguns... http://s1199.photobucket.com/user/kfeltenberger/media/Kewsexplained_zps200e3279.png.html

And just to illustrate the size differences between the ships in BSG and canon Traveller ships...

The big battlestar at the top, Hecate, the gold colored yacht, and the battlestar between Galactica and the Cylon baseship, Indefatigable, are non-canon, but everything else is canon with respect to their respective sources. The USS Nimitz is there for scale.
