RE: 38/55 brass for a Ballard.
Just melt down some old birthday candles or any wax and very lightly oil the chamber and bore you want to check I just block the bore ahead of the chamber with patches and pour the cast. Wax will shrink on the inside and hold the outside dimensions. Here is a cast of my .44. The contrast of the picture is bad to see but the cast is very good to measure what you want to find out.
