Grease up a oo buck shot pellet and gently tap it through the bore with a close fitting wood dowel and then measure it with a micrometer.

And that would be the easy way!

I recommend you not use wood dowels for slugging, they can shatter/splinter and leave a real mess.

I personally use brass rod for slugging, but others report that steel rod protected with electrical tape works well.
