[QUOTE="Ray Meketa, post: 35787, member: 2778"] Kirby - I arrived at my conclusion that the SJ case had a larger capacity by actual measurements. The SJ weighs 303 gr empty and 401 gr full of water. The 257 STw weighs 259 gr empty and 355 gr full of water. Your arguement that Lazz uses less powder in his loads is due to the fact that he loads to a more reasonable pressure and has no relationship to the capacities of the two different cases. I agree that more brass doesn't necessarily mean harder brass but I know several shooters that use Lazz brass in both factory and hand loads and they all praise it's strength and durability. John Lazz designed his line of cartridges with strength and reliabilty in mind. He could have made the brass thinner, resulting in more powder space, but chose the other route instead. [/QUOTE]
