Take a chamber casting with Cerro Safe. Low melting point and it will not damage your chamber or barrel. Brownell’s carries it. You can make a chamber cast and take your measurements then melt it down and reuse it again

It appears they offered the 2 5/8-inch Sharps only, necked case with a load of 90 grains of powder pushing a 500-grain patched bullet and a load of 105 grains of powder pushing a 520-grain patched bullet.
