Is there any way to increase the dia of an already sized boolit?

Maybe by 0.001 or so?

Use the bullet seating die foe a pistol round in that caliber and the pedestal for a lee sizer. Adjust the die so the seating plug just makes contact with the bullet nose with the press handle fully down. Adjust the plug downward a minimun adjustment and then restroke the handle, hold the handle for a ten count and lower the bullet. adjust and repeat as needed. I get the best results by taking the bullet a couple of thou. oversize and then sizing back to the newly desired size
