[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1978955, member: 87371"] When it comes to casting chambers, I use a mixture of sulfur and graphite instead of cerrosafe. Works the same. Mix powdered sulfur with about 25% of the graphite you get to put in key locks -- IOW, fine dust. Prepare your chamber by lightly oiling and plugging barrel about 1" below neck of chamber. Melt sulfur/graphite mix and pour into chamber. Let it cool about a minute or so, then push chamber cast out with a cleaning rod inserted from the muzzle. The cast will contract about the same amount as cerrosafe, so your measurements will be approximately .001" below actual dimension. [/QUOTE]
