    If need be that Lee .309" sizer can be opened to .310" easy enough. I also think you can order a .310" direct from Lee but not sure about this.
    Good Luck,

    Save yourself a lot of trouble and don't worry about slugging the bore. Wasted time. The Lee bullet is a good suggestion. I have an older Rossi 38/357 carbine and it shoots this bullet well. I size...

    I didn't read it all but that is wonderful advice for successful shotgunning. So many folks try to aim a shotgun like you would a rifle. Not very successful that way.

    I don't think a piece of paper will add any protection but a small piece of shim stock should make it much less likely.

    What cartridge? Why go to all the trouble and headache of casting a soft point. For the pressures you will be running most likely a good 20:1 alloy should work well.

    Low brass or High brass means nothing today. Dram equivalent only refers to velocity. Lower velocity ammo uses a faster powder so it ignites properly. The pressure is still up there. I doubt you can...

    If a bullet will chamber it's not too big. I would try a softer alloy with about 12 grains of Unique. That load works well in my 4 45-70's which includes 2 Marlins.
