[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 635601, member: 1521"] I agree and disagree so far.. For H20 capacity the cases need to be fully prepped to uniformity, and fully fireformed(unsized). I also put just a few drops of alcohol in a cup of water to reduce meniscus at the mouths. I don't clean cases to squeaky clean or anything. I stand a deprimed case on a plastic golf tee inserted into the flashole on a scale. Zero the scale, then eyedrop water in to fill to the mouth. If needed, I touch a tissue corner to flatten water. Record the weight, update QuickLoad file. It is a good idea to go slow at this. You can find cases that are not playing with the others, and you can also see clearly that case weight itself does not directly correlate to volume. Initial confinement plays a big role in powder burn and where and how peak pressure occurs. Believe, don't believe it, but be sure to see it across a good chronograph. [/QUOTE]
