[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 91234, member: 10"] Brain, The case capacities I gave were from filling the cases to the mouth with 8700 and then weighing the total powder that each case would hold. I suspect your capacities are water capacities. My five cases for the 22-270 WSM averaged 226.7 gr empty and 313.9 gr filled to the mouth with 8700 for an average total powder capacity of 87.2 gr. The 224 AM cases averaged 229.1 gr empty and 321.6 gr filled with 8700 for an average powder volume of 92.5 gr. Now usible powder capacity will be dramatically less. I am predicting that with 8700 or 872 that I will top out in the 66 to 68 gr range with top loads but we will see. The 224 AM has about 0.010" of taper and thats as square as I like to make them. I am sure feeding will be a bit choppy unless out of a center feed magazine. I am looking at the 10 round H-S Precision DM system for the WSM currently but right now the rifle will be a single shot.
