I have not yet tried to force a boolit completely through the cylinder mouth to see how much pressure that would take. But again, as measured with my micrometer and calipers, there's about .001 interference. I don't trust my calipers accuracy as much as my micrometer, but I'm not using cheap tools either way (used to work as a machinist many years ago).
