Newbie question... So I just pounded the first four rivets in my bird. They're 470AD4-6's, between the HS spar and doubler plate. Now if I'm reading my trusty Cleaveland rivet gauge right (the -6 hole), then the shop head isn't nearly wide enough. Yet the height is right. It just seems like I'm using a *lot* more pressure with my bucking bar than I did with the practice kit, and still not getting the shop head anywhere near wide enough. So far, it's looking like they're matching up to the -4 or -5 holes.
I'm running my 3x at 40psi using the standard bucking bar that comes with Avery's rivet gun toolkit. Any tips?
And I imagine I'm going to have to drill these out anyway, because the gun starts to slip and dents the machine head.
