There are 3 tight spots in the barrel. They are getting easier to push a bore slug past.
Yes I have stuck some in the barrel (3 to be exact) settled on 2.5 grains with the boolit seated with the front griving band even wth the case mouth. Push the boolit in with my thumb except for one case I have to use the press.
I have the next 6 ready to go and the rifle has been cleaned.
