I size a boolit to .452 and tried to insert it into the back side of the cylinders...it wouldn't fit. So I slugged the cylinders and barrel. The diameter of the cylinders were .451 and the largest measurement on the slugged boolit was also .451.
I watched a YouTube video that showed a sized booit that would tightly slide through the cylinders. The video said that was the proper way since you dont want the bullet to size untill it reaches the barrel? Well the .451 slug will do this. The sized .452 boolit will not and get stuck as you see in the photos. You can see another .452 boolit I dropped in the cylinder from the loading side.
Because both the barrel and cylinder are the same size accuracy wise is it ok the shoshoot the .452 boolits with them sizing in the cylinders before entering the barrel or should I size them to .451?
The purple that won't enter and is wedged in the cylinder is .452 and the slug with the Phillips head mark that fits firmly in the clinder measures .451.
I can post a pic of my slug if needed...so should I size my boolits at .451 or .452?
I know the rule of thumb is to size .001 but in this case where the cylinder is smaller i would assume I need to size .451?
