This may sounds odd; but I own a 1882/86 Swiss Ordnance Revolver 7.5mm. According to the rules, CFP requires .30-.38. Will my 7.5mm legal?

Yeah, Conradin, half a thousandth is WAAYYY oversize. They will punish you severely should you be detected. But then, maybe your bore is a trifle oversize?

God knows your shooting scores will leap into the stratosphere with an edge like that!!!

I know it is larger than .30. I do have the data too, that is why I ask.
