I have slugged the bore on a few of my semi pistol barrels and this was my process.
1- I removed the barrel to be slugged
2- I took an empty case for the proper caliber needing to be slugged and filled with molten lead then let cool.
3- Removed the "slug" from the cse using a kinetic puller.
4- Using a wooden dowel and rubber mallet forced the slug through the muzzle end all the way out to the other side.
Now so far I feel good with what I have done but then I alway get confused as to how to properly measure the slug. Do I
measure the parts on the slug that are HIGH spots that would be the groves of the bore, or the LOW spots on the slug that
would be the lands in the bore????
Now if my cast bullets are dropping from the mold to the exact same size of the bore or slightly larger say .001''-.002''
bigger than no need to resize, correct??
Also if doing a revolver doi slug the barrel, the cylinder or the forcing cone part off the barrel? Am I just thinking to much into this LOL thanks guys Alway appreciate you help and feedback.
