Default bore diameter

Shooting hard lead cast should be .001 over for accuracy and not leading the bore. Jacketed should be the same as the bore. As far as I know and have been doing that for years with 45 and 9mm in hard lead cast, some even .002 over. Also thru custom barrels and very accurate with the right load of powder and bullet. I am sure the others will chime in.........

Hi Patrick, According to the WWI Luger manual, 9mm ammo, as issued, would pierce a French steel helmet at 800 meters! Artillery Lugers even have sights adjustable to that distance. Whatever the reasons the Germans lost the war, you can be sure that weak ammo was not one of them. Regards, Norm
