[QUOTE="nevada75, post: 1616550, member: 75285"] Using PPU brass in a single shot 30-30 and in a bolt action 22 hornet I had excessive pressure show up well before I reach max powder charge. I was using published data from Hodgdon's website cross checked against various reloading manuals (Speer, Sierra, etc). I weighed the PPU brass along with somesome o measurements and compared to Remington and Winchester brass I had. The PPU brass was consistently heavier. I don't have my notes handy but think they were maybe as much as 3 grains heavier on average. I concluded the the brass is just manufactured heavier and thus less internal capacity. I decided to use the PPU brass for low pressure loadings with cast bullets. [/QUOTE]
