After reading a recent post about cylinder throats I checked the throats on my 30 cal Blackhawk. Have had problems in the past with bullet seating. Different seating depths for different throats. In the past I just seated all the bullets deep and fired away. On trying cast bullets the problem intensified. My jacketed bullets are .308 in dia. checked with a Micrometer and my cast bullets are .309 dia. Some of the cast bullets will not allow the case to enter the cylinder far enough so the cylinder will turn. Thus even deeper seating.
I took a fresh .308 dia 180 gr. bullet for ease of handling and tried dropping it thru the cylinders. A long story short, The .308dia bullet fell thru 3 throats, finger pressure on 2 and one would need some force, hammer etc. Should all the throats be the same and how would I accomplish this Thanks Hope I wasn't to long winded
