Got the double buckshot and the slugging went well. Problem was in the measuring. I used calipers and seem to get measurements between .304 and .312. I'm assuming the .312 may be the correct measurement? I used Parashooter's diagrams.
Maybe you could all send me donations enough to buy "store bought" ammo!! And I'd agree in return to never bring this subject up again!! LOL!

The barrel is on a No. 4 Mk. I - two groove barrel.

No special tricks are needed with a 2-groove slug. Just measure directly in two places 90 degrees apart - major diameter is "groove", minor one is "bore".
Horsefeathers! A "M/W" gauge tells us only about the bore diameter. We want to know the groove diameter when selecting cast bullets.". . . if you have a .308 M/W gauge you can use it, . . ."
In many places, buckshot is also legal for taking does."Buckshot is perfectly legal for taking bucks almost everywhere."

Don't slug em... Just give em a good slap, unless they deserve it!

Wheww, this thread has me rethinking reloading for my SMLE. First of all, I don't put much faith into measurements of any round ball for bore sizing(far too easy to not be square with the axis of the piece measured).

had I seen this thread earlier, I would have suggested you go over to Cheaper than Dirt and get some of the HXP they were selling very reasonably,,,
