    Bullet Size PC vs Lube Sized

    In general are you getting the best results with PC bullets sized the same as lube sized bullets or do you size them larger or smaller for best accuracy?

    I have only been doing PC for a year, now-- and not all my firearms, but in both pistol and rifle, so far, same size seems to work fine.

    Forgot. If you are sizing them quite a bit, then sizing them before and after PC makes it a bit easier. PC adds .002-.003" to the bullet dia.

    I have plenty of reloading time available. I use 2 coats of Hi-Tec coating and I resize after each application. I do this for 9 mm because I need 0.358”.

    The same size works for me, except that on a few I needed the extra thousandths pc adds.
