I have 2 .45 acp 6 cavity molds from Lee. One is dropping a sized slug .451/2 (432-228-1R) on my random measuring and the other is dropping at around .457 (452-230-2R). I'm resizing the .457 with a Lee 452 resizing die. The (432-228-1R) drops into the chamber of my Sig 220 without any binding at all.

Should I run the 452-228-1R slugs through the sizing die anyway?

Should be fine if you are happy with the roundness. My 45 tends to be more consistent when I size, even if only a brush.

Thanks. The roundness looks ok.

To size or not to size. Only the gun will tell.
