Bore slugging - odd number lands and grooves

[WARD O]

What do you do to get a good reading on slugging the barrel when you have an odd number of lands and grooves?

Talk to 45Nut.
He's got the tools. This benifits the web site et all.

Hello:

I looked around on the Vendor page for the tools mentioned above. Is there a link or more information about these tools or methods.

Thanks

hh,

Got a feeler gauge set? Take the thinnest leaf, wrap it around your boolit, measure, subtract twice the thickness of the gauge, have a beer and celebrate the fact that you found this site.

"...have a beer and celebrate the fact that you found this site."

Now, that is good.

If you don't have a feeler gauge, rotate the slug as you SLOWLY and GENTLY close the micrometer -- you do not want to distort or damage the slug. If you do it properly, you will feel the simultanious high points of the leading edge of one groove and the trailing edge of another. Make and measure at least three slugs.


Hmmm, just a few minutes after 5:00. You know what that means...
