I just bought a Winchester 1892 Short Rifle in .45 Colt. I want to cast my own boolits for it, it’s at the smiths right now getting the bore slugged. I know every rifles bore can be a little different, but can any of you tell me what the bore diameter normally is on this rifle? I’m hoping it will slug out to a 451 cuz if it does I can use the mould my dad left me, it’s a Lyman 454190, and I can size the boolit to .453, two thousands over bore diameter. if it slugs out to .452 I’ll have to get another mould.
Thanks,
Paul

Sorry I can't help.
Too old to be nice, never too old to learn!

Just use soft lead like wheel weights and close to max load and it will expand into the bore. https://sites.google.com/view/44winchester/
