I've never slugged a barrel. I read that the bore should .309 to .3095. In the Lyman manual it shows to slug from the front of the barrel. What is the best way to slug??? I read of getting fishing weights close to barrel size. What do you pro's use??? I do have a set of digital calipers for measure. I need to know the easiest place to find pure lead around that size and what you use to push down the barrel.....Thanks!!!! Probably a wood dowl??? or use the cleaning rod........ your wisdom is needed.
