[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3772004, member: 15054"] If you have soft lead sinker or bullet that is too fat you can lay it on a hard surface and tap on it with a hammer and make the diameter smaller. Or you can roll it while pressing down on it with a steel plate. You can make a skinny bullet fatter by standing it on it's base and hammer the tip of it. I lube the bore very well and the bullet also. When you do slug that pistol barrel pay attention on how much force it takes through the entire barrel. Then remove the slug and stick it in again and send it down the barrel and again notice the force applied. I found my Ruger and my S&W revolvers have a tight spot where the barrel meets the frame. I ended up fire lapping the barrels and accuracy improved greatly. Very hard (impossible for me) to get a cast bullet to shoot accurate with a pinch in the barrel near the frame. I know some guys that jacketed bullets are the only accurate ones in their revolvers. [/QUOTE]
