Re: Can someone help identify 308l vs 309l

Ya It shouldn't be a problem to return, more of just the hassle and the wait. I have a few lws shops but none that stock .045. This was actually the first time I had bought filler online haha, don't think I'll be doing again after this.

Re: Can someone help identify 308l vs 309l

Ya no stamping on it, probably because it's so small, But it sounds like there's no old timers trick to figuring it out. I appreciate the help though everyone!
