Lee 8x58r nose dia?

[GrizzLeeBear]

Currently starting work with the Lee 175 gr. boolit for my 8mm Yugo mauser. Was looking at sizing down the 8x56r 205 gr. boolit for something heavier. My only concern though is the bore riding nose section. My barrel across the lands measures .313. Can someone that has the 205 gr. mold measure the nose on one of them for me?

Easy fix just another step, size the nose only to .308. I do that with the KAR 8mm mould I have that I size down to .315 for my Enfield, if you figure out how and have the right size flat nose punch you can install the gas cks in this step.

Thanks, Freightman. Already thought of that and was hoping to not have to add the extra step (but I might have to, no big deal). I know that Lee mold can sometimes run small on the nose and was hoping to get lucky.

GrizzLeeBear, I measured a bullet from the Lee 329 mold. The nose of the bullet measures
