Slugged it at .315 guess .312 would have a hard time in that bore. Beagled my mold to throw .316., will try soon :D

Slugged my bore to .313, have not got to cast any boolits yet. I have a .312 sizer already, can they be easily opened up or is best just to buy another at say .314 or .315? I would like to run...

This gun has a few oddities. The rim of a 50/70 brass fits without trimming. Unheard of from my reading. The bore is 3-5 thous smaller then others I have compared to.
