To slug it?
I got some .457 muzzle loading pure lead balls to slug the bore of my 45 Colt Marlin. Am I good using this and is my process below correct?
Oil the bore good
Put the ball at the muzzle and beat it in with a plastic mallet
Once it’s started push it all the way to the chamber using a wooden dowel close to the size of the bore
Once out use a micrometer to see what size mold to buy
Profit from correct sized bullet and savings from casting my own
