	Yea, yea I know, the Spencer is a repeater, but I'm guessing someone here has a Spencer hidden in their closet. I'm curious what the bore/grove diameter is for one of these in 56-50 if anyone has measured it. The rifles/carbines are made by Chiappa and sold by Taylors and some others. Thanks and Merry Christmas! Mike.

	Well, I got one. So just in case someone was having sleepless nights, I slugged the bore and it measured 0.512"-0.513". Now to find a priming tool that will accept the fat base............ Mike.

	I've got a couple of originals; one an original center fire the other a converted fro9m rim fire one. Bore diameters are .515 for both. Use a 50-70 shell holder on your hand primer. Fun to shoot, but they take some getting used to. These are both 56-50 caliber which I think the repops are. George

	My repro is .512 also. Respectfully, Bob S.
