Well you know what they say about mistakes. One man's mistake is another man's ex-wife, no I mean opportunity.

Be nice to see the whole gun when you can. Wouldn't it be more valuable as it is as a curiosity; and quite rare? Maybe just turn down a couple of slide in chamber inserts so that it can be used but without destroying its individuality. Lagopus.....

Says .506 is the bore, not the chamber, so some 50-100 brass would probably be about right. Some kind of chamber inserts for .410 shells, if you dislike rolling yer own.

What will tell the tale is still a chambercast.

A chamber cast would be great, but if'n I had it in my hands I do believe I could have it measured before I could melt & pour the cast.

2-piper,
Maybe he will do that for us,calipers don't usually give as precise a measurement as chamber cast,but in this case it wouldn't make that much difference,I guess.The current drill is just deciding which case to use in somebody else's gun that we will never see our selves. I'm just curious now.

Mike;
Totally agree on the preciseness of the chamber cast. For the purpose though I would use a small telescoping gage & measure the diameter at each end & can get a good reading on length by putting the forcing cone in a shadow then measuring to the shadow with a narrow scale. These are plenty accurate for a shotgun chamber.

Miller,
I also use telescoping gages when the hole is too large for small hole gages.This is, IMHO,as precice as directly measuring a chamber cast.I thought you were talking about directly measuring the hole with a caliper.I have a more difficult time with the length, but wouldn't make a lot of difference in this case( looking for head dia.of case to use).
