[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3345046, member: 15054"] A portion of the front of the bullet can be a bore rider but not all of the bullet. You need to seal the gasses at the rear half of the bullet. Bore rider just helps align the nose . but if it is too much undersized from the bore it can be detrimental. I had to take my Lee push through .452" sizer and hone it to .4525".. that extra .0005" made the difference for me. My bore is .453" I can't go .453" on bullet size and stick a bullet into the case and have it chamber unless i hone my chamber fatter..I did not want to do that. With my bullet .0005" under bore size which is not ideal I still got decent accuracy.. but Bullseye powder and 2/3 soft to 1/3 hard lead. I have a 357 Mag that the bullets are .357" and the bore is .3565" very accurate. .0005" over sized on that lead bullet. It likes a harder alloy. All wheel weight and 2400 powder at Elmer Keith velocities. [/QUOTE]
