let me check. Not sure about the skirt
I cannot find decent pics versus style or a written explanation of Lyman's nomenclature ..I started looking for a straight 580213 but had several guys say the old original was for the 60 gr of black and to add "OS" to the number.. and guys wanting an "elk gun" ..100 gr of powder and a thick skirt hence the the newer 580213 thick skirt
I'm not arguing ..just telling you my confusion since I cannot find any Lyman documentation to explain their nomenclature
At this point I just need a minie I can size to this weird bore I'm working with
So you are sure OS needs to be part of the nomenclature ..
Thanks
