    Alloy vs bullet size

    Just came through a learning experience (for me anyway) - more experienced casters will already know this.

    bore / groove diameter listings ?

    So, is there a book that lists bore / groove diameters of all the popular calibers ?
    I've had to go on 2 or 3 different "hunts" to find these specs. Hoping to find a useful reference book.
    TIA
