I shoot an original Model 2 with a John Bly barrel rifled by Bobby Hoyt
360 grain Mike Owsiak carbine bullet in pure lead
Reduced capacity brass with 25 grains of 3F Goex and Lens Lube
The groove to groove diameter of the rifling (six lands/grooves) is 512
I\'ve been sizing to 516. Is this too big?
Sometimes I get a few lead flakes when I clean but no leading.
Shoots very well but can I do better?
Cheers!
