Then I tried the .501" I couldn't even get it started down the bore. I had to go in from the muzzle and knock it out.
So I guess that means my rifle takes the .500" - huh?
As long as it won't move off the powder. I like them to push in harder than Jon. What he thinks is just right. I think is too loose.
Terry at Thor says as long as it won't move off the powder. It's a good fit.
Doesn't the powder need some compression??
