ORIGINAL: Rifle Loony
Slugging a barrel and sizing accordingly yeilds a correct GC fit.
I am not sure who the expert is here. But I do know that Slugging a barrel and sizing a bullet has nothing to do with the fit of GC's?? You seat(or fit) the GC before you size your bullet. Or at least while you are sizing your bullet. A lot of shooters use a GC and do not even size their bullet.
I would have thought the author was working with a rifle instead of a pistol. There is no need what so ever with a GC at pistol velocities, so common sense would tell me that the author was either speaking about a rifle, or was just looking for general information?? But then what would I know, I am just a dummy from WV, and know nothing about "STICK". But I do know a bit about casting and shooting. Which I believe is far more than RL. But then I always get a "KICK"(or should I say Laffin'........)out of comments that some one writes about a subject-when they obviously have not done what they are talking about. I do not doubt that you have used GC'd bullets, but your non-GC'd bullet comments are way off base.
If you want to pay the extra money for the GC bullets then go ahead and buy them. But if you are talking about pistol loads, they truly are not necessary.
Now for my third grade comment. Tom.
