I size my lead cast 200Gr. SWC's to .452 and have never had a loading, leading or fouling problem.

| .452 for cast. Most commercial cast is either .4515 or .452 as well.

I used to shoot .452 TL with ALOX and got tired of the slight leading in a Colt and Sig.
Changed over to a Lubesizer using Felix lube sized at .451 and leading is non
existant.
Good luck !

Slug your bore. That's the correct answer. Match or go a thousandth over your groove diameter.
