[QUOTE="Mark611, post: 779489, member: 49531"] yes I have a L.E.Wilson drop in gauge that will show proper case sizing and head space, and I also have a Hornady comparator tool with the head space gauge bushings to measure the difference in the head space of full length or small base or fired cases, my concerns are internal volume, I'm looking to try and get as close to the same velocity's from the fired cases compared to the full length size with over pressuring the full length sized cases:rolleyes: I started off with the case in new condition as the came from IVI, they were small base sized to begin with, I sorted them and full preped and also turned the necks to make them as uniform as possible before I loaded them, I've only worked with about 100 pieces of this brass so far and started off loading them at the lower end of the loads suggested in Steve's book, I thought maybe someone might have gone thru what I'm looking to do and it may save me some trouble of going thru the testing again:D I know the poi will be off some but I'm not concerned about that I can always resight without allot of shooting to rezero,gun)case volume is where I need help, thanks guy's [/QUOTE]
