I wouldn't worry too much about that out of round problem. I would bet by the time it is shoved down the barrel with 20,000psi pressure behind it will be round enough!

I don't think that Lee-menting takes off much metal at all, but it might help a bit. Nonetheless, shoving it through a Lee .309" sizer to apply the gas check will true it up nicely.

CTL stands for Gas-checked Tumble Lube, so simply tumble-lube it lightly in LLA, size/check it and tumble lube it again. Load when dry.

Depending on which way it is out of round beagleing might work but I personally wouldn;t worry about it.
