Question about Reloading 25-20WCF

I'm thinking about buying a Marlin in 25-20, and according to the load data I've got, that's a bullet diameter of .258, and the only stuff I can find for bullets is .257... how much of a problem is that going to be? Also, I can't even seem to find molds for .258 bullets, is there such a thing?

If you couldn't already tell, I'm still pretty new to handloading, and so far am only loading for my 30-06.... pretty straight-forward stuff.

Not sure if your reloading book has the cartridge included, but the .257" will work fine. Borrow or buy a Speers manual if you can, it is in there. Also some information if you just goggle it.
