Bob, you may have this information already, but I'm going to send this link to you anyway! Check it out, it's a good reference on headstamps!

That's very interesting! I really have never looked into these things. It always seemed anyway that they all were just about the same. But, I usually just ask for 9mm Carry Ammo, and take what they have, and they never have the same thing twice. I have 4 different Brands here, and all are just about the same, except for the Corbons. I think I'll just take them back the next time I go. It's really not worth screwing up my Gun.
Again though, I'm just guessing about the size difference, as I have nothing here to measure with at the time. I'm comparing them now and they seem about 1/4 inch shorter overall.
Thank's!

Hey Gloc, isn't about time you bought an inexpensive Caliper? They're very reasonable now and available everywhere! I couldn't live without mine

Here's a general info study regarding loading the 9mm. It provides information on the headstamps and whom they might belong to.

Good info. Do you have a link like that for 45 ACP match ammo?

I know Tig! I didn't ask this initially because I knew someone would call me on it. I must have 2 or 3 of them in my rollaway, but in my Apt. I don't even have a screwdriver, no less Calipers! Since getting Divorced 15 yrs ago I lead a life of a typical Bachelor! Anything I need fixed they do so I have never needed any tools here. Sorry for the light info I supplied with my question.
Thank's for the info guys! I am just going to switch them next time I go.

Bob, I didn't get your request, let me look into that now. Sorry about that! I'm checking on getting that but am waiting to hear back on it. Hopefully it won't be long if I can ahold of him!
