dixie slug question

[southernjeep80]

got a question about dixie slugs they advertise there slugs as 7.30 diameter.

well i looked up 12ga and it says its 7.29 in diameter well maby im being to over critical but how can there slugs shoot if there bigger than the bore. the reason i ask is because if theres any variances in the size of either the shotgun and or the slug that could end pretty badly.

and i guess benelli is off limits since i read on a few forums there barrel diamiters are smaller than the US standard shotguns weather its true or not idk.

you have your decimal point in the wrong place, move it one place to the left and the difference will only be a hundreth of an inch, which would be rather neglible in a 12 guage barrel.

I believe that would then be just one thousandth of an inch.

You are correct & .730 out of a .729 bore is perfect, you have to have some swedge
