I will look to see if I have any 120, if not I might be able to get you close
Ok so my chamber checker has a .575 bore, thats what I use for my 5/8 plugs, others might vary slightly. That said, I don't have 120, I do have 130 and the best I can remember they are close in size.
So Jeff's plug is 1.000 face to shoulder 70 grains measured .912 on my checker, making the bore 1.912 long I would play safe and bore 1.750 when boring for the plug, that should put you in safe territory and give you around a 60+ grain chamber, keep in mind your plug will hold 10-12 grains, I am counting that into the chamber size.
Normally I go 1.750 on my plug bore BUT I don't shoot light loads, take that into account.
Thank you for all your help.
