Probably so. Lead bullets are easily done in a single stage reloading press.
A draw down of 0.003" is never criticized in bullet sizing lore that I have known.
That is the acceptable limit according to most know-it-alls.
I too have found that the hard alloy lead bullets do spring back to about 0.001" bigger than the sizer.
Soft enough lead alloy sizes true to sizer diameter.

The springback of all the jacketed and monometal copper bullets I have tried is 0.002".
Worked that way again on Sir Jerry's bullets.
I am so grateful for the food he sent I will slip another 26 of the 450-gr/.458-cal TSX into the empty slots in the bullet box.

And furthermore, "The Walking Dead" reminds me of "The Walking Democrat Voters."
