Default Made a Thor sizer

Tonight I was really bugged by not being able to shoot Thors in my Traditions hawken woodsman and then the thought hit me.

Its not much of a flare and I could push them inside down in the barrel and they'd be sized perfectly right?

I got an even better idea, and a hacksaw blade, took an old junker barrel from a cva project that didnt pass by quality test and chopped 2" of barrel of, put the .501" thor upside down and with a small hammer and punch, lightly tapped it down that short stubby barrel and tried it in the Traditions.

PERFECTO!!

Now I can give the Thors a try and see how the results are.

Size they have rifling marks, you just spin the bullet until it catches the rifling properly, and shove 'em down.

Tomorrow I plan on trying a section of aluminum I have and bore a .500" hole and possibly use a dingle berry hone to enlarge where its needed so I have a smooth bullet and no rifling to line up.
