Promo is very similar by weight, not volume. Alliant recommends weighing charges then determining which bushing to use to get that weight for shotguns. It would be the same for pistols.

The asterisks may be filler in a roll stamp device when they don't need all the spots to stamp the desired information for that model. It takes a lot fewer spots when you don't have to stamp...

Subtract the first two digits from "00" to get the serial nbr. A "96" means it is a 2004 vintage which should be Ballard rifling.
