safe to shoot a .358 bullet out of a .356 barrel?
i loaded up a couple dummies and it looks like the seams of the bullet are just touching the rifling.
i measured my barrel to be .358, but slugging shows it to be .356.
i lapped the mold to .358, its a 102grn lee round nose.
also,when i run the bullets through a .358 sizer only the seams get sized down.rest of the bullet is untouched by the sizer.
