    To size, or not to size? .357 Mag

    I have a Lee 158 SWC w/ GC mold, and a Lee 148 grain DEWC mold. Is putting the cast bullets through a sizer advisable or necessary to make them more uniform?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not always , your firearms and the target will tell you which it likes . If you don't have the sizer , that's the easiest way to try first huh?

    Thanks Jack. Actually, I have sized every single projectile so far. I need to try some without sizing to see how it goes. Also, everything that I've cast so far has been from soft, nearly pure lead. I've accumulated some ww and need to give that mix a try too.
