Lead bullet diameter

I have been successfully reloading 9mm lead bullets that have a diameter of .356. They work well in my gun(s). The other day I had a chance to buy some 9mm's at a gun show that were .355 diameter. I have always heard that using undersized lead bullets can cause lead fouling and that, with lead, you should use .001mm larger than your barrel. Should I avoid .355 bullets since .356 seem to work. What is the likely effect of using .355 over .356
