hello once again,
ok i got some soft lead boolits from a member here.
and slugged my 1873 pietta
they are 454 dia. boolits.
if i drop them through the cylinder they will fall to the floor.
but if i hold my finger to catch them and remove the finger they will stay in the cylinder.
is that good?
next question.
i slugged the barrel also
and with my calipers i got these measurements
grooves
446
lands 453
is that acceptable?
thank you again
