When I measured my m1888, I just pushed a cast lead .323 bullet down the bore with a cleaning rod. Just be sure to drill a small hole in the back of the projectile to centre the cleaning rod so it doesn't scratch the bore, and cover the end of it with some cloth so lead doesn't get stuck in the thread. Then you can use a micrometer on the bullet.
