Will a loaded round chamber? How hard is your alloy?

allow is air cooled wheel weights with a little tin added. a round will chamber, but it is snug on the neck. bolt is hard to close, but i dont need a hammer to close it. :)

I would say that if you are happy with the way the bolt closes then you are fine. If it is more than you think you will want to manage every time you shoot it, then you need to make another sizer a thousandth or so smaller. Oversized cast boolits don't cause a problem generally except with chambering them.
