really the ones I had seen were cal specific, they won't blow up on you but anytime you change bullet diameter up to .006" from one extreme to the other you will have accuracy issues. Ruger finally figured this out by building the Single 10 in 22LR only and the Single 9 in 22 Mag only. Think about it would you shoot a .481 cal bullet in your 475 or a .506 bullet in your WE, only if the bore was so far off that custom cast bullets sized to that diameter were all that would shoot.
