Have a S&W Model 19 with a Python barrel that leads heavy at the forcing cone and first couple inches of the barrel. Cylinder bore slugs at 0.3575. Barrel bore at 0.354 at the muzzle with no tight spots the rest of the way. Rifling at 0.347
Have been shooting LSWC sized to 0.358 from Missouri Bullet, so about 18BHN.
From what I have read, my cylinder bore would indicate a 0.358 boolit diameter. But is that too large for the barrel? Would fire-lapping be a good idea to open up the barrel?
I am trying some other LSWC at 12 BHN, but in the mean time, thinking about next steps. Thanks in advance for your comments.
