Ideally, what should they be? I have a 327 Mag. Single Seven that measures .313 and a USFA that measures .311. In between are a Bowen custom and a Buckeye convertible.

I can't tell you exactly but my 97 in 327 was .311" and my S6 in 32 H&R was just about all of them (they're .314" now to even them all up).

Just match the throats to the bullets.
My FA97 has .312", Singe Sevens .314" and GP100 .313"...
Every revolver has it's own personality.

So, if I want one lead bullet for all four guns, do I size it smaller or larger?

There's no one size fits all due to variations in throat dimensions across makes. But bores usually slug 0.311", or a few ten thousandths higher. I have one sizer at 0.312". That gives 0.001" over the bore for good seal. And since most of my .32 caliber revolvers are Ruger or Uberti, the throats are typically 0.312" - 0.314". I've never seen a bullet that exactly fits the throat as detrimental. On our customs, we hone the throats to 0.3125" and size 0.312". If you have a tighter throat gun like a FA @ 0.311", I wouldn't sweat pushing a 0.312" bullet through it. I think you'll find 0.312" bullets shoot just fine as long as they'll chamber. Heck, jacketed bullets are 0.312" and I know they'll print tight from a Freedom Arms. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |
