I slugged my DWM and found it measures .312" just ahead of the chamber and leade.

I've used Ranier plated bullets in .45ACP (almost 1000 down the spout at this time) and as a paper-patched projectile in my .500 3" BPE (quite a few hundred down the spout). They have a hard skin, but they are soft lead inside. No problem.
