0.001 is nothing really, it won't hurt anything.

I try to stay away from plated bullets. I have seen

2 guns blown in half using plated bullets. If you get them going too fast they shed the thin plating and the lead core continues down the barrel. Then the next bullet does the same thing in the same place. Then the third bullet hits all that pressed in plating blob and blows the gun in half. They are simply for light practice, not for anything serious and you have to keep the speeds way down, which is to me totally useless.

Excellent information. Thank you.

I didn't like plated bullets.

What is the concern of .001"?

even though I have sized twice, one to seat the gas check and up side down for the nose. Unpcd bullets give me no problems
so for me a little is a lot
