    What mold make and number? What alloy ? What die. Do you want them sized ?
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    I want to say .377 but its been so long since Ive looked at them.

    Just checked them, .379 was shooting them in an old marlin with a worn bore.
