I really enjoyed it brother! 🙂👍👍
Thank you! I really appreciate the support. I've got more on Rumble that isn't on RUclips. I'm LeadSmith45 on rumble. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for the info!!
My pleasure!
Just found your set of videos and started watching.
Instead of lead balls, you can use the football-shaped sinkers.
Or, a step up but more expensive would be to use machinist pins. They would give you exact measurements and are quick.
Thank you for checking out my videos. I'm not opposed to using pin gauges. But I do feel that if there is a less than concentric throat diameter I wont be able to gauge the high spot. I've got a Bulldog 44spl like that.
I realize that. I haven't had a problem and of course, you will be able to notice if out-of-round. and the whole idea is to then ream the throats so they are all round and the same diameter. They are more expensive, but sure speed up the process.
I've got a good set of pin gauges. They aren't big enough for any of my revolvers except for my 22 bearcat. I've considered doing a video just to show the method that you speak of. Shoot, I'm on quarantine for covid right now... maybe I can make that happen real soon like :)
Mine is from Vermont Gage.
260 pin set from .251 to .500, I should pick up the guages for the .22 cal.
Seems like everyone is on or just off of quarantine. I wish you well and soon to be able to get back out and about.
Interesting. Mine is Vermont as well, but it's all the smaller sizes below yours. Thanks for the best wishes.
It is easier to use calipers to measure the throat dimensions. Hopefully all will be identical, and within spec.
Next time drop the bullet from the breach end of the cylinder toward the muzzle end. It should just barely catch.
I was quiet torn over whether to display that method, I have found that some revolvers will have oval shaped throats which can give some misleading results, allowing a bullet to stop on the narrowed throat walls. I may do a seperate video in the future where I discuss this method that you mentioned in greater detail. Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting.
