i was surprised that it slugged at .3075" (measured with calipers and a micrometer). this will work out great since my Lee 309-150F drops at .309-.311 (out of round). so sizing to .309 should work out great. i knew going into it that if i was gonna need a .311 or so, that i wouldn't be able to use that mold without modifying it. also, i hear that chambering a .311 don't always work. anyway, i'm pretty happy with it :)

Did you drive one (soft) slug all the way through and a second one just into the muzzle, then back out to compare and look for bore constrictions?

No. Just 1 all the way thru

Marlin has been known to cut rear sight dovetail a little fast sometimes, about .001"-.002" ID worth. Gtek
