[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 113439, member: 4686"] Guys, I'm away from my gun for a few days. Took the family to So Cal for a 4 day vacation and hospital visit. Still have internet when were not playing on the beach [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]on puking on the roller coaster. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm going to try a little trick of placing a Hornady .350" lead muzzleloder ball just in the mouth of an old case. I'm going to lightly chamber it, not totally, to get the ball to swage down to the chamber neck dimensions. It should either stick in the mouth of the case and extract with it or I can simply pop it out via a cleaning rod. I'm of the feeling I should get a minimum of .003" or maybe .004" clearance. .342" minus .308" = .034" (assuming .034" is correct) .034" minus .003" = .031" /2 = .0155" or .034" minus .004" = .030" /2 = .015" Of course this is all academic until I get back home on Saturday and check the chamber neck diameter.
