.453" bullets in .452" throats?

[jphendren]

Hello,

I recently ordered some bullets from a well respected caster, and specifically ordered .452" bullets for my USFA and Freedom Arms revolvers.  When the package arrived the box states .453", which is their standard size for 45 caliber.  Would these be safe to shoot in my USFA, or should they be sized down first?

Thanks,

Jared

When shooting lead bullets almost everyone uses a bullet a thousandth or two over bore diameter.  You'll be fine.

Thanks, I'll load them up then.
