Hey all,

I've read about slugging bores as far as how-to.

I just don't have any soft lead projectiles around the house in 9mm or 40 caliber. In order to GET lead projectiles I'd have to purchase them and from what I understand you want to slug the bore before you make any purchases so you know what to get.

Where do you obtain just 1 (or very few) lead projectiles?

And a micrometer/caliper to the muzzle won't work?

Would wax work or is that too fragile?
