Viggo, I agree with you! After you slug your own barrel like I did, I would NOT hesistate to shoot a bullet .001" over but ONLY if it was a CAST LEAD BULLET, companies like LYMAN RECOMMEND it but I WOULD NOT do it in a Jacket bullet. Hugh has had good luck RESIZING jacketed bullets with a lead bullet sizer die as long as you dont go more than .001" at a time. One day I will buy a bunch of .310" hard cast lead bullets and try them, I bet they shot REALLY GOOD. I have a bunch of .310" light HPs that Hugh resized for me from .312" bullets and he says they are great snail rat(armadildos) killers Thor
