Contender SS 44 hunter bore diameter ????
« on: March 14, 2009, 02:49:16 PM »
Has anyone slugged the barrel of their SS 44 Mag hunter barrel. I don't currently have this barrel and am wondering what was common bore diameter on these. I have a lead on a couple bullet molds and was wondering if these would match T/C Contender's bore. Can anyone supply any info on this. I haven't seen the molds yet and will take calipers when I go and look them over as he has some bullets unsized as cast from the molds. If they measure .429 and the average bore is running  .430-.432 the molds wouldn't be the best fit.

 I've had no trouble leading mine, even with soft .430 Bear Creek slugs, so I haven't slugged it.
 I have also been putting hard C-429-240-SWC Lee and RD's C-432-285-TL through it too.
