    Cool 38 Turk bore size

    I just slugged my 38 Turk's bore. It's .3235" x .3130". Good sharp lands, too, thank you cast bullet god.

    Is that bore size normal?

    ...........Going by the specimens I have I'd say yes. I have to size my 8mm slugs to .323" to get them to chamber without getting all scraped up in the throat.

    Cool Bore

    Thanks, Buckshot. I was wondering about the .313" bore as I'm considering ordering a bore-rider mold from Mountain Molds. I want a bullet like from the 8mm max special order from MidSouth, but I'm afraid the new one would be way over size too.

    I'm thinking a 225 gr with a .5" nose and .200" bore rider section measuring .313" at the top and .314" at the bottom.
