I slugged several barrels today.
3 American made 45 ACP's measured .4505/.451
Taurus 45 ACP measured .456 <--- (YES that is a SIX)
454 Cassul measured .4535/.454
450 Marlin measured .4565/.457 (I thought Ranch Dog says the are .460?)
S+W 357 measured .357 <---(as best I could tell with 5 groves)
__________________________________________________ _________
SO what do I do. Dedicate one mold to the Taurus or size all my 45 molds to .456+?
Do I oversize the 300gr Cassul mold so that I can also use it in the Marlin?
I think the 357 is go to go as is.
