10ga 2 5/8” – Finally Dialing it In…

[Jay Oliver]

Pete, Thanks for the good idea. I actually don't have any good tools to measure the bore diameter, though I am at the point in my collecting where I should invest in some(and I will). That makes sense if the bores are undersized it would recoil more.

Frank, I shoot up at Addieville a few times a year though I do most of my shooting at Peace Deale Shooting Preserve in South Kingstown, RI. I was actually gong to see if there might be any interest in a shoot there in March. I'll post something about that in a different thread.

Jay, most Skeet's type of bore micrometer will not measure an overbored ten gauge. Be careful what you buy.

That’s right Bill. I have both sizes and the larger one is entirely usless for 10 ga. Barrels.

Jay, I would recommend contacting Jon Hosford and buy both his wall thickness measuring tool and his bore gauge. They’re pricey but are the best available.

Dean can you please elaborate why both are the best available? Thanks in advance.
