Came across some 9mm lead RN reloads, most likely from someone that shoots where you never run out of ammo and there's no brass calls...
Suprised me that the rounds would not chamber willingly in a Ruger P85. Whipping out my trusty Starrett 799, the mouth diameter is .380-.379, so if you really wanted to, it would chamber. Just not fully confidence inspiring. Uniform, but it coulda been a wee bit smaller, say .375 or so. The other thing is the case lenth of about .740, that is less than the .750 chamber. Though he might have shot these cases a lot.
