That weird .350. I pulled 4 of the .353" 145 gr. bullets and inserted Speer 140 gr. JHP re-sized to .356" in two rounds, then one Sierra 200 gr., with a reduced charge. Finally an un-resized Sierra 200 gr. just to see if it chambers smoothly.
The Sierra 200's say .358" but mic at .3565" right on the money, FWIW.
Far left is a WWI era .351 WSL with nickel jacketed .352" 180 gr. SP. Yes it is age cracked at the neck.

I could not use 9mm Luger dies to re-seat the bullets. The die body is too short. A .358 Win. rifle seat die body was too long. The .38 Special die I also used for .351 WSL worked fine when backed off some.
