I have an early 90s era 92fs. It is one of my all time favorite hand guns. One issue I have always had with it is the common problem with the barrel diameter being on the wide side. It is .3585.
I shoot a lot of lead bullets but have a challenging time getting good accuracy. I cast my own and can certainly cast a .360 bullet but I find that when I hit about .358 or .359 that you pretty much hit the limit of the cartridge and start splitting necks etc. Using an M die helps but... The result are finished cartridges that won't even chamber in my other 9mms.
Anyone have a bright idea of where I could get a barrel that is closer to .355 or .356? I can certainly order another barrel but it would be a crap-shoot as to whether it will have the same problem. I am also wondering if there are any aftermarket barrels that might be less prone to this problem. I know a lot of 92s have this issue.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
