Yes but a #69 (.292) and #68 (.031) is probably within specs of the Breech Plug Flash Hole. Personally I don't know of any gun that that is not true for, But I don't own them all. Thanks for the info, I do use pin Gauge ZZ Minus for checking bore diameter but I think the pin gauges would cost a lot more for a set to cover most Breech Plugs.
