[QUOTE="hemphill, post: 3771833, member: 50242"] Let me preface this with, I am just now getting into reloading. According to the Lyman Pistol and Revolver handbook, i need to slug the barrel on my Colt RHKP pistol to determine the bore size. Then i can determine what size cast bullet i need. I have heard of people using muzzleloader balls to slug a bore and of people casting a cylindrical slug for this purpose. I have 36 cal muzzleloader balls, .375”. The Saami spec for 38 s&w is .361” Could i safely drive one of these balls down the barrel to slug it? I was wondering if anyone that has some experience with slugging a bore could offer some guidance. [/QUOTE]
