boolit size

[Charlie Two Tracks]

I have a couple of different Lee moulds (.358). One of them is a 158 gr. FN. The mould drops .359 to .360. I am using this in an SP-101 with a 3" barrel. The cylinders have been reamed out to .358 since they were not even close to being the same. Do you guys think it is ok to shoot these as cast or should I find a sizer. If I do need a sizer, what size do you recommend and what brand. I am tumble lubing right now and have had some leading but not serious. I just want to get rid of any leading. thanks. Oh ya. The BC gap is .006 if that is a factor.

Charlie Two Tracks,
For what it's worth, I size my revolver boolits .001" over cylinder throat size, using a Lyman 4500 and lube from Jake's Products http://www.jakesproducts.com/index.html. Barrels are lead-free.

I have no experience with either tumble lubing or a Lee sizer.

Your as-dropped boolits should work...as far as size is concerned.

If they chamber ok then shoot them as cast. I don't size as much as I used to because it's easier to shoot as cast when possible. I size sometimes but mostly just to apply lube. If you are going to size do like 462 said. .01 over throat size.
