So I have never done any serious shooting with this revolver. I'd like to change that. I measured the cylinder throats tonight and they all measure .429"
I have never slugged a barrel until tonight. I've always been scared to try it. Well I cast a 44 slug from pure lead and gave it a go. all was fine until I got right in front of the forcing cone. MAJOR barrel constriction......
To the best of my abilities the slug mics out at around .423"-.424" So now what? Fire lap? If so, what does that process involve? Can some one give me step by step instructions and hold my hand through the process?
That seems WAY TOO SMALL for a 44 barrel....
Any help would be great. I'm sure I'm not the first guy to run into this problem.
