Over sized bullets?

[Okee]

I received an order from Beartooth Bullets for my SBH Hunter. They sent me .432 sized LFNGC. The problem is I ordered .431 size bullets. My barrel slugs at .4295 and my cylinder is .431. Would there be a problem with pressure using these "oversized" bullets? I know its not much differance, I just want to safe.

You should seat one and check chamber fit before loading up a bunch. Depending on the seating depth it might not want to chamber if the bullet extends too far into the throat. If they chamber all should be good.

dakota, thats a good idea I will check that first. Thanks

You might also want to see if they'll push through the cylinder throats.  If snug it's no problem, as the hardest lead is still considerably softer than jacketed bullets.  If it doesn't go through the throats, there might be some leading when the throats size down the bullet upon ignition.

Okee:  you should be shooting .431 diameter bullets, not .432.  The larger slug will open up your groups.  I would measure them first to make certain they are .432 in diameter and if so, send them back and get .431s. 

I use Beartooth Bullets quite a bit in my 444s.  Two rifles prefers the .431 and the other the .432.  If I shoot the 432s in a a rifle that prefers the 431s the groups open up the same as if I had shot .430s through the rifles that prefer the .431s. 

My 44 magnum prefers the 430 cast and 429 or 430 jacketed.  Both jacketed slugs shoot equally well but if I use a 429 cast I get 'not so hot' groups - when I bump it up to 430 I get some pretty nice tight groups.

Come to find out even though the box said .432 on it, the bullets messured .431. So the label on the box was wrong and the bullets are correct. I should of messured first. Thanks again everyone.
