Hi

Been looking for a decent file myself. There is this one conmmercialy available at $20.30 though. Bit pricy for the file but looks to be pretty good and there is an .stl file available.

Hi Andy

Will be interested to see how they come out. If they're good will buy the file myself and give it a go.

Will measure an 88 HE and AP round in the morning and confirm the overall length.
