This is a subject that has been hit on before. So I made myself a chart of inside diameter's for the various scales.
For 1/48:
.30 cal - ID - .00625 = 30 regular
.50 cal - ID - .01040 = 28 thin
These are the gauges per www.smallparts.com . The only reason for regular and thin is that that was the closest I could get to the size needed in that particular ID.
I hope this helps and
to FSM. Good modelling.
