    Size of dropped bullets?

    Just ordering a Lee TL309-230-5r.
    Does it actually drop at .309 or a couple of thou larger?
    TIA

    From Lee - Mold diameter tolerance
    Our bullet mold tolerance is stated diameter, +.003/-.000 inch. http://leeprecision.net/support/inde...eter-tolerance
    This would be with an alloy of 10-1 lead/tin. If undersize, add linotype. The antimony makes as cast bullets bigger in diameter from the moulds.
