    Measure the inside neck diameter of a fired case. That will give you the largest bullet that you can use, and still allow for a couple of thou case to chamber clearance. My 1886 Miroku is limited to a 0.459'' bullet, a 0.460'' is on the tight side. Accuracy is fine.

    I think crimping can play a big part. I’m not crazy about the results I often get from a factory roll crimp. I just got a tapered crimp die. Can’t wait to try it.
