    Another way is using your "comparator" just measure a tight or correctly sized one and the loose one.

    As mentioned earlier if they are like say,, about 0.015 - .020" load up some "light" loads to fire form them.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
