bullet punch is code talk for wooden dowel :>)

LEE's moulds are nortorious for throwing undersized bullets, better check.
Hope you don't get a .307

.309 or .310 is ok, dont go for the .311, too much sizing ruins it.

If the as cast size is unacceptable...return it to Lee promptly for replacement.
Tip: cast a few fast, don't wait 6 months! Confirm size.
