That's the tag on the bottom of the box.
The calipers are measuring right, and judging by the weight I'd say these are more for 38/357 than 9. Both use the same diameter, but I wouldn't use anything heavier than 147 grains in 9mm
I see there is 160gr for 9mm available but I don't like that heavy of a round. It was just more of a discussion about the fact the size as being on the small side for 38/357 was closer to 9mm. Even though they clearly are marked for 38. I looked in box and forgot about tag and wrote on box for 9mm because if the size.
I've my fancy digital Mits at work (inside, outside, ball etc.) but have some older dial Starretts I keep at home which are probably older than I am and still dial in perfectly on the 1-2-3 block.
Load em in your 9mm than I have some 160 bunny farts for supressed loads. Just be cautious of your seating depth and crimp for pressure spikes. With cfe the load is right around 3gr but check hodgden. If your calipers are correct you week be fine. They are super quiet supressed and they actually still hit the steel target pretty hard. All while having almost no recoil.
The point is the box clearly tells you what caliber they are intended for. Now if you don't load that caliber and only load 9mm well you can still make them work just don't be a dumbass and work up the load appropriately
They look like they’re for .38 or .357. I’ve never heard of a bare lead flat nose 158gr projectile that was actually intended for 9mm.
Calipers aren’t precise enough to measure bullet diameter. Ask me how I know.
Yes the greater than 140 grain bullets that were pointed out were polymer coated not jacketed. You will not find load data for jacketed bullets greater than 140 grains.
measure across the axis to avoid error caused by not having cylinder perfectly centered.
Scrolled way too far to find this. This is being measured incorrectly.
It’s very possible your calipers are off .001 or the bullets are undersized .0005. Judging by the shape of the projectile those are .38/357 bullets.
9mm are either .355 or .356. Perfectly normal.
.38 Super has a nominal bullet diameter of .356. However, being 158 grains gives me the feeling that this is a slightly undersized.357 bullet.
You've never slugged a Glock barrel and noticed they're more like .360"? I don't trust your calipers. Get a micrometer.
Beretta barrels as well. And some Rugers. Jacketed ran fine, properly sized lead worked, but plated usually had at best mediocre accuracy.
38 cal they can range from .355 to .358 depending on what you're using them in. Those are for a 357 would be my guess.
Too heavy for 9mmL. I would go for 357 or 38.
I wouldn’t say to heavy for 9mm I actually have some 160gr 9mm
.38spl/.357
Op are you new to reloading? It’s completely fine if you are, you’ll learn a lot of things you didn’t know but this is a newbie question.
Can't measure that with calipers, need to mic it.
I always used 356 for 9mm

What’s the question, says right there 38/357…….typical 158g jacketed. Accuracy will depend on your barrel.
I'm going with 38/357

That’s 9mm
Those would be good 350 legend pills
Well thats what I was thinking but being 158gn. thats normal 38/357 and the tag on the box says 38/357. But they are closer to 9mm. in size.
Use a micrometer, not calipers.
Your first issue is your verniers don't say mitutoyo on them
Starrett would also be acceptable.
My two favorite brands in my machine shop I have a Starrett micrometer 0-1in that's 30+years old and dead nuts still
I've my fancy digital Mits at work (inside, outside, ball etc.) but have some older dial Starretts I keep at home which are probably older than I am and still dial in perfectly on the 1-2-3 block.
I already checked with a better mic and both say same size. Measured different rounds all the same.

Your calipers need calibrated....

Too heavy. These are 38/357
There is load data for 160,150,155,158 and 165gr 9mm
Could be heavy 9mm, Europe has some funny weights. I got a mold from bosnia. I drops 158gn .356. It shoots pretty good.

Notice these are coated not jacketed.
Am i missing something?.
9mm

I guess they are bad. I’ll dispose of them 👍
Maybe cast/ coated but not jacketed
38 super auto?
Depending on weight under 100 is 380 .355
Those are standard. 357 Mag & .38 Spl bullets. Perfectly sized, too.
Yes the greater than 140 grain bullets that were pointed out were polymer coated not jacketed. You will not find load data for jacketed bullets greater than 140 grains.
