I assume that the bullet diameter would match the bore diameter since the bullets won't expand when fired. Or should the bullets be a hair smaller than the bore diameter?

I'am very surprised Lehigh is making - selling a .451" bullet in brass....several years ago BATFE got on all brass-copper bullet manufactures they were even going to shut Barnes Bullets down...
How it got started a custom ammo manufacture in 5.7x28 ammo was turning down a bullet manufactured by a bullet company and loading it in there ammo selling it to the general public...
