I just received a new-to-me pre lock S&W 629 Classic.
The only boolits I have are 240 gr semi wadcutter Lee design cast from wheel weights and powder coated. They measure .430 with a micrometer.
These boolits will not come close to going through the throat of any chamber with finger pressure. In fact, they have to be pressed through.
After going through one throat the boolit measured .428. So I stopped and did not try the other throats.
I am concerned about the throats being too tight and do not want to harm my new 44 mag.
Do I buy a smaller sizing die? Have the throats reamed? What should I do?
Thank you if you can help .
