Default 686+ Performance Center Moon Clips

I know one size moon clip does not fit all makes of ammo. On my 686+ PC and the moon clips that came with it, I noticed a definite difference in how various manufacturers ammo fit in the clip. Does anyone have some kind of "Guide" as to what moon clips fit what ammo from different manufacturers? I searched the Forum and couldn't locate a thread that addressed this issue... can anyone assist? Thanks.

I thought some clip aficionados might have an answer for you. The groove varies because it's not defined in the SAAMI spec. In the meantime, some aftermarket clip makers have info they've developed noting their observations. For example:

38/357 Moon Clip Thickness - The Revolver Supply Company, LLC
