Can't help with measurement but have questions about your hi-power. What caliber?, S/N? They are super rare and I have seen only two or three

Do it yourself.  Just wrap the slug with a thin piece of shim stock, and hold it tight to the slug with pliers.  Measure the diameter and subtract two times the thickness of the shim stock.  You now know the groove diameter, which is the important measurement for determining bullet diameter.  Good luck!
