uneven diameter casts
A buddy gave me a thousand cast .308 bullets, unsized/unlubed.
Aparently, the mould was not a true even closing one, since
their nose diameter varies, in a given bullet, from .297" to .303" and at the driving bands, from to .306 to .312. Questions:
a. will lube-sizing them in a .309 sizer make them usable?
b. since sizing will not change the uneven diameter of the bullet's nose, will be worthy to expect any degree of accuracy?
thanks in advance.

Yik's that's cast bullet's stuff .!

Paul H might know he run's the cast bullet board

I could tell you that if you had a swage die in .309 diam
or .308 diam that you could reswage all the bullet and then
thay would be fine but i don't know squat about casting or cast resizing bullet's

Sorry guy
