Which I now use for my 356-125-2R because once powder coated it doesn't work in anything I have except my S&W 986. I literally can't even cram it into the case far enough to work as 9mm cases are thicker near the bottom. In THAT gun though, I can powder coat it and even crimp it in the groove and it works. I suppose because it doesn't headspace on the rim so it can be more open.
