[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2748815, member: 26077"] I agree that slugging the bores in old 38-55, 32-40 etc has value. I have seen 38-55 that was .377 all the way to .394. In all of the 45-70 Marlins I have owned, made from 1935 to now, I have never seen a variance in bore diameter. Even in really old Spencer's, unless the bore was really worn, the bore diameter didn't really vary. Micro groove versus regular rifling aside there really is next to no variation that would affect what cast bullet you want to use. [/QUOTE]
