They are the Allen head type. Thanks. Forget the past the past is gone forever, right now is where it's happening.

Don't bet on "probably". They will send them to you at no cost. Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!! They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

Yup..Hornadys is the Bee's Knees. “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Get some Hornady rings, a bargain at any price. “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
