Mine are the 2 7/8ths version. I've got 37 pieces. 20 are new in the box and I'll probably keep them that way, so 17 might need trimmming to 2 5/8ths.

It has been a while since I fooled with them so I will need to go back and do some checking.

Thanks for the offers. These also take the old Alcan 57 sized primers. I've been told there is a enough meat on these to ream them out to accepy modern 209 sized promers.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with this?

If the shell bases are actually too large of diameter, will you guys recommend sizing the hull down and turning off a wee bit of the base and rim?
