Quick question for someone who has some .38 pistol jackets...

What is the outside diameter of a .38 pistol jacket?
What is the length of a 1/2 .38 pistol jacket?
What is the length of a 3/4 .38 pistol jacket?

Most 38 jackets can also be used for 9mm bullets as well so should be sized in the .350 - .353 range, could be slightly less.

1/2 jackets run around .300 give or take and 3/4 around .500 - .550, and I think the full jackets are .700 . These are not absolutes, just my estimates.
