Just ordering a Lee TL309-230-5r.
Does it actually drop at .309 or a couple of thou larger?
TIA

From Lee - Mold diameter tolerance




Our bullet mold tolerance is stated diameter, +.003/-.000 inch. http://leeprecision.net/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/206/0/mold-diameter-tolerance

This would be with an alloy of 10-1 lead/tin. If undersize, add linotype. The antimony makes as cast bullets bigger in diameter from the moulds.
