Pin gauges, .0001 tolerances, "precisely square to the bore"...

What happen to slugging the barrel with lead?

This week I'm going over to a buddy with a lathe and we're going to turn a .349 pin, if as the reborer stated he does his Whelens with a .349 bore it should fit, if it doesn't we'll try a .348, .347, etc.

Will report back, shouldn't be hard to tell which it's closer to, the .349 claimed or the .344 I measured with lead.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
