Hugh's Rebarrel .30

Before you guys start squeezing bullets, measure the bore. The DWM 7.65 mm barrel factory specs for the groove diameter is:

Minumum: 7.87 mm or 0.309843 inch
Nominal: 7.90 mm or 0.311024 inch
Maximum: 7.91 mm or 0.311417 inch

I've been collecting measurements and so far they run pretty true to DWM factory specs. This includes barrels in Rugers, Colts, etc.

It AIN'T supposed to take a 0.308 bullet!! For a nominal bore it should be a 0.311 inch bullet.
