A pound cast of the chamber and first bit of rifling will show the size where the boolit enters the rifling. This is the dimension you should try to match. If the boolit matches this dimension it will leave the case and enter the rifling as straight as it can. If you size to match the full length slug then it may be a bit small in the chamber. This could lead to the boolit not being as straight in the barrel as it could.
