[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2382246, member: 10755"] There are 2 ways to get useful case capacity. The weight with water filled to the case mouth on several times fired brass with a neck only sized case, but measured with a fired case. This is true chamber capacity. Or measuring capacity with a Burette and kerosene in CC’s on the same several fired case. This is how I do it. All of the advice above is great, however, sorting brass for a hunting rifle off the shelf is quite different to a competition rifle with custom everything. Many wonderful groups are shot in factory guns without measuring case volume, flash hole massaging and other prep. Number one is this: Size your cases only enough so that it just fits your chamber with .001”-.002” clearance and do the same on your necks. Oversizing causes more issues than any other aspect in this game. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
