thanks, I have many bullet length calculators including the Greenhill which generally uses a smaller constant for lead bullets in bp rifles. But length is not my worry. It is diameter. I want to be able to fit the darn bullet down the bore w/o mashing my hand or the bullet nose with the starter. At the same time, I don't want it so loose that the bullet in the second barrel slides forward when the first barrel is fired. Diameter is the problem. Length, I can handle and it looks like around 1" long would be about right.

I've got two copies of Ned's book. Great book but nothing there on double rifles and bullet diameter.
