It's normal to have a cast bullet have a slightly larger diameter than a jacketed one. You could have gone up to .310 dia. The softer bullet will swage itself to the bore. You're in good shape. You may have to expand the case mouth a little to get the bullet in without shaving lead. I used to take a jacketed bullet of similar diameter and just start it into the case. Then I'd remove it and insert the cast one.
