jeff,

Yes no problem, BUT first lube it before you size because the lube will keep the lead from moving into the lube grooves during a drastic size down. Your bullet will grow alittle in lenght depending on how much you size down. I've sized .284 bullets down to .264 and they shot pretty good and looked fine, except they grew alot. Also you don't want to size down to the point where there aren't any lube grooves left either.
