Am i correct on this? Bore size.
 

Okay, in colorado the bullet can not exceed twice the bores diameter.

Measured the land/land, i come up with a .452 DIA. And a .461" Groove/groove.

So a .904" long bullet would be ok by this measurement.

Is this the correct way? Or would i just have to say ok its a 45cal so .45 X 2 = .990"

Im getting ready to order some Bullshops if dan has the grain and size i need. I want something in the 300 minimum to 400 grain range.

You'd prolly be safe with the .45" x 2 or what ever caliber your using. But if you realy wanted to push it you could go with the groove diameter and gain a few thousands. Dan has a mold for the UC shorts that weight around 440 grains and measure about 0.992", guess I should mention they are .504 cal.

Better check your math there. .45 x 2 = .90 (LOL)

I would bet moneythat is what you should use, a .90 max. No DOW official is going to measure the actual diameter of your gun, he will just look on the barrel and see that it is a 45 caliber. Then he will measure the conical and if it longer than .90, you would be in violation. For a 50 caliber, 1.0 inches.

They dont state in the book very clearly. Says can not exceed twice the bore diameter so to me i would take that as a land to land measurement to get the actual bore size!

And my math has never been that good but you all know what i meant lol.

But hey, My spelling/typing skill's are a lot better than that Corey guy.

FG, I make this nice, clear, and spelled right


:D:D:DBITE ME:D:D:D

btw I am strong in math

You may be right. And they may not even look at the gun. All they have to do is measure the bullet. If you are shooting bullets that are .452 in width, then they could be .904 in diameter, etc. And anyone who would give you a ticket for 4 hundreths of an inch anyway.............

You might ask the game warden if they dont go by the caliber stamped on the gun. Lee

Actually, you are talking 4 thousands of an inch here. And in the loading process you would probably knock that much off the length. And if it got to where someone was to give me a ticket for this violation, I would ask it his calipers (if he used them) or his ruler was calibrated and traceable to NIST? If not there is no way this would hold up in any court. Now a bullet 1/4" longer, Yeah you would probably have a problem.
