How does one differentiate one caliber rotor from another? Is there a chart to be found somewhere?

I know they are cartridge specific but for the life of me, I don't know how to tell the difference and can't find any info to help. Just my thoughts, I know the .38-55 won't work with a .303 Savage spool, because the .303 is 20 thousands bigger thannthe .38-55. So I would say rounds based on the .38-55 case, like the .30-30 and .25-35, would work with the same spool. Same for the .300 and .250-3000. Try posting or searching the 24 hour campfire forum, they have a lot of info over there. But, it might take a while for a reply, doesn't seem to have a lot of traffic over there!
