[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3461019, member: 3099"] Nice haul! You really do need to slug your barrel but the general rule is that lead will be .001" larger than the same bullet if jacketed. It can go bigger to find the sweet spot for your gun. .002" over won't hurt a thing, but .0010" to .0015" is usually the sweet spot. Going too small will lead your barrel almost immediately and won't shoot accurate at all. The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has an awful lot of info in it. Highly recommended. [/QUOTE]
