How do you slug a gun?
« on: May 01, 2005, 07:22:27 AM »
Can you just take an unsized cast bullet and drive it thru the barrel and then mike it?  Is that an acceptable way?

Thanks

I take a bullet of the same caliber as the barrel and squeeze the front and rear very slightly in a vise to get the diameter slightly over sized.  Then, lube the bullet with oil and drive it through the barrel, from the chamber end with a dowel rod.

You can also use a egg-type fish sinker, and it helps greatly if you run an oily patch down the barrel first.
