Re: Inside size of 12 gage shotgun shell

More important to match the slug to your bore or rifling grooves, depending on what you are actually building. The loaded cartridge then has to be a drop-in fit to the chamber.

Most people say its best to get a mold to cast slightly oversize and push through a sizing die for uniform dia and concentricity.
Plastic shot-shell hulls are flexible and should take a .730 slug no worries, without sticking in a normal 12-bore chamber. I load .735 slugs routinely for a nitro paradox. I even made a hand-tool to flare the case-mouth slightly to make them easier to seat in the hull. Still roll-crimps onto the Fosbery shoulder just fine.
