I’m at two fingers pressure with a carbon fiber ramrod with a clean bore. After fouling the barrel I should be good. All bullets are uniformly sized to .4505 I’m shooting a Scout conversion. Are most in agreement? Than you

Nope but maybe…..
It all depends on what powder you will be shooting. Just be prepared to adjust your die after you load the second bullet. It better to have to fat of a bullet because you can always make the bullet smaller.

Also, preferred procedure as some will swab their bbl between the shots. As buckeye wisely said- take it easy! At least don't size 500 of them, yet. One time I was cutting lumber to size and 2 days later found I had wrong measurement. (That non-standard size lumber lasted me years...)

I’ve found that most of my “educated guesses” in this SML game have not quite been precisely accurate. What I mean is exactly what buckeye68 and olegburn said…..physically do your final sizing on a fouled bore and eliminate the guesswork (and headaches in most cases)……and certainly DO NOT size “ALL” of your bullets until you have verified that your final/preferred loading force has been obtained.
