I have slugged the bores of both I have (but 5 groves are hard to measure accurately) and both are pretty good, around .312 at most, however I've had good luck in other rifles with "current manufacture" projectiles which seem to be more tolerant of obituating up or squeezing down than I recall of efforts 20 or 30 years ago . . .
