I got a couple more mold cherries today in a .355 and a .346 diameter and wondering what cartridge their for? Im sure the .355 is for 9mm but whats the .346dia used in? They both look to be around a 125-140gr boolit with a single lube groove and a crimp groove.

Is the .346 a groove bullet cherry? If not this could be a paper patch bullet mould for .35 cal.

i have been looking for a .348 mold, about a 200 grain. the 346 would probably shoot in it

Thats a .38 for size comparison. The shine you see is from the lighting I used to show them well.

It does look like it and what is it used in with that diameter? Im sure it will cut a thousand or two thicker but still dont know.

That could be some way to allow for alloy shrinkage...

Never thought about the shrinkage. Thanks.
