Mister c , Hullo and welcome to the zoo. +1 for OK to shoot in your guns. Most of the folks that shoot Cast Boolits like to keep them over size for the bore. .001-.003 should not be a problem, as long as the boolits fit the chambers, if you have small chamber throats, sometimes you have a problem with larger boolits seated/if the brass expands to much, so load a couple of dummies and check your chambers. If the cases set OK in the chambers , your good to go.:lol:
