[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1983479, member: 11011"] if your bullet slides in easily you have enough clearance . if your bullet has resistance you could still have enough clearance . your best would be get the chamber neck measured . if you get to much clearance , you would be over working your brass . I think you should be able to use pin gauges to measure the neck diameter . you can buy cerrosafe and make a casting . although I don't like the thoughts of putting that stuff in my chamber . before I had pin gauges I needed to measure the chamber neck on my one rifle . I used a cast lead pistol bullet . I think I ground down the bullet a little to get it close to my size . then I gently tapped it in to place . I bumped it back out and measured it . here are a couple pics of the lead plug I made . [/QUOTE]
