SOooo…  I was too curious and since I've started casting, I decided to get a minus plug gauge set ( http://www.grizzly.com/products/Steel-Plug-Gauge-Set-250-pc-Plus/G9793 )and measure the various holes on my wheelguns.  I started tonight with the DW41.  The cylinder throats measure .408"- each one!  I was pretty pleased about that.  I haven't slugged the barrel, but I now know the ID of the top of the lands is .399" on both ends.  My cast bullets are sized to .410" so I should have a nice fit.

On a side note: my wife came in while I was busy at work, stopped, and looked at me.  I must have had my "what dear?" look on because she just shook her head, turned around and walked away… Silence is golden.  At least I'm not in a bar, eh?

Yeah, I know that look. That's the look my wife gave me the night I started polishing all my spare DW barrels with my new Flitz gun wax.Screwy

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

No doubt, but now I have bigger problems.  She caught a glipse of the grade for one of my papers for an abstract thinking course:

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Ron, life might be less painful for you if you just looki in the mirror every morning, slap yourself repeatedly across the face repeatedly, while chanting "stupid, stupid, stupid..."

Ulitimately less painful in the long run.
