I'm planning to load up a batch of .32 ACP using lead and was looking at some Bear Creek bullets. These are available in .311, .312, and .313 diameters. I was under the impression that lead bullets should be .001" larger than jacketed bullets for the same caliber. Since I've been using .312 jacketed bullets, should I use .313 dia lead?

I thought .32 ACP was supposed to use .311 jacketed and .312 lead. It really shouldn't matter much though. You may as well get the .313s if they aren't more expensive. A couple thousandths too big is generally better than a couple thousandths too small.
