Undecided on a great many things
So I casted 311 bullets in pure lead and went at slugging my guns.
Marlin 336 it was tightest at the muzzle and slide smoothly 1/2 through to the chamber. Got a .308 measurement.
Remi 30.06 I started the bullet in the muzzle and noticed it didn't move as easily. The rubber mallet started deforming the base more than the 30-30. It got in the muzzle went in about an inch or so and stopped. Now the 1/4" wood dowels are breaking instead of moving the bullet.
So I am looking for options on the 30.06. I was considering putting a gas check on the top or bottom end and tap on the metal rod and tapping it back out the muzzle. This DID NOT go as I expected.
