Its very tough to only remove .0005 then I end up with two .454 that wont chamber. The .4535 will chamber but is .0005 under the throat size of the cylinder. I thought about polishing the leed of the...
I have two lee push through sizers that I have honed out, one is the over cylinder size .454 that wont chamber and is the boolit that I want to shoot. The .453 is the one that is too loose for my...
.443 across lands .451 across groves in the boolits so it would be reversed in the barrel. The same on both ends of the barrel. I realise this setup should seal but I am a fanatic when it comes to...
