Pedersoli Sharps bore Diameter.

[oldrodder]

I slugged the bore on my Pedersoli "Quigley" in Cal. 45-120 and the slugs mike out at .4565" I measured with both verniers and micrometer.
Came out the same.I thought that was pretty tight for a .45 caliber. My paper-patched boolits mike out at .459" and the bare boolit is .456"
Tiggr, have you slugged your 45-70? Just curious as to other .45 bore sizes. I'm looking for comments/advice from other .45 cal BPC shooters.
Thanks,
Mike

I had a Pedersoli that came out at not much over .456". I have a Shiloh that is not much bigger than that. My Badger barreled C. Sharps rifles come in at .458".

My Shilo Sharps runs at exactly .458 over the grooves and .450 over the lands. My paper patched bullits run out at .449, a nice slip fit in the bore that boots up nicely at launching leaving an appropriate cloud of confetti.

My Pedersoli Sharps 45 - 90 mikes .450 bore and .458 across the grooves. I had an old Pedersoli roller than had a .446 bore diameter, however.
