Re: lead weights

Re: lead weights
Hi all
tried a few bits of lead down the 7.62x54 bore, i seem to be getting various sizes when measuring around the weight.
ranging from 3.03 to 3.13 being the widest part, think i must not be doing it right? or is this the norm
again any advice appreciated

Re: lead weights
DON'T use a wood rod, trust me you will live to regret it.
Steel rod, with tape if you are worried, once the slug is started into the bore a couple of inches stuff some paper towelling down and pound/push away on that, the paper stops the rod digging into the slug.

Re: lead weights
I am just the opposite to you Dromia. The problem with anything long, either wood or steel is it will flex as you push it down through the bore and could damage the crown so I use 8" lengths of Oak, once the slug is engaged I just add them one after the next gently tapping them down with a lump of wood. Easy to store as well.dromia wrote:DON'T use a wood rod, trust me you will live to regret it.
