I figured this was probably true, and I'm grateful to have that confirmed by the builder. I might do the 0.511" on cast, but I'm gonna steer clear of the 0.512" bullets.

I was surprised. Most of the Matt's Bullets I've ordered have been exactly on caliber, but they started offering the 0.512" in the last year. Everything else they make stays where it should.

    - I wouldnt think the .001" more would be an issue - Amede, 2019-09-20, 03:56
