They are chedittes
Depending on which B&P they are 2 5/8 rather than 2 3/4
You can use cheditte date to reload them
Note you can use 2 3/4 data in shorter hulls as long as it fits. |

The old B&P F2 say 2 5/8 / 67mm on the box, but when measuring the fired brown hulls they are a little shorter and are under 2 5/8. The Cheddite hulls are decent to reload.
