I like to see .003 below bullet diameter to begin load development and work from there if neck tension needs testing.The answer is, it depends. Ideally, at least 0.001" less than bullet diameter. Some like as much as 0.004" less than bullet diameter. Most people fall somewhere between those two. So, 0.307 to 0.304 is acceptible to most.
