Through hook or crook, I mostly successfully slugged the bore. The problem is that my balls are too big. I had to smash them in my vise to make them fit. It wasn't easy.

It came out to .313". That would explain why the .312 is more accurate than the .311 bullet. The thing is I don't know where to find jacketed .313 bullets.

Is one ball enough, or two?
I think one ball, i.e. once, is enough. If you do it right I see no need to do it multiple times. If you do it right each time you should get the exact same results each time.

BTW, I found an old box of .36 cal lead balls if any one wants one or two for slugging your barrel. You will still have to do something to them to reduce their size before you use it.
