45redhawk

I am planning to begin casting for my revolvers in the near future and my first equipment purchase will be a mold.I intend to slug the barrel on both my 45 colt redhawk and my mod. 25 S&W before I buy the mold.
I have a question about slugging revolver barrels that maybe the fine folks on this forum could answer for me.The soft lead slug driven through the barrel will take on the size of the tightest part of the barrel.If the mold throws a bullet the proper size for any tightest part of the barrel then sometime in the future the barrel is lapped to relieve the tight spots then will the mold have to be replaced with one that makes a larger bullet?
Thanks
