I have a F40-7 reload here and while I can't measure the grain without
opening the bag, (it is in the liner tube) the liner is 4 1/8" and the
spacer is 1 7/16" so 2 1/2" for the grain is about right. The delay is
5/8" so maybe you have a F40-10.
I just looked up the HDK reference and the F40-10 delay is 3/4". That
delay is also used in the F22-5J reload for that case. Or even the
F22-7J using a different delay formula but same length.
I am sure that cleared that up. :-)
