The Body of the CASE should be no greater than 0.854" (+0.0 -.009") at the base and 0.840( Z0.020") at the mouth. CHAMBER, 0.858"MIN/0.841MIN accordingly.
Mark one of the oversize cases with a sharpie pen. Tap it into the chamber and remove. The interference point will show where the marker is removed. Sand/polish at the interference point until the cases drop in.

It's mixed, I have 8 hulls that will go in almost all the way leaving about 1"-2" remaining and I have 12 more that won't go in half way.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
