[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1391191, member: 13833"] Well, here is some more new info. I was basing my capacity difference on a previous capacity measurement on Hornady brass and Jaces' measurement on the RWS. I don't doubt either measurement, but again, different lots! So........ The RWS case that I posted, after 4 firings, has 97.3 grains H20 capacity and a fully formed Hornady from a different lot, had 97.2 grains capacity!!! My previous carefully measured Hornady capacity a couple years ago yielded 96.3. The RWS case (empty) weighed 5.3 grains more than the Hornady. I suspect based on these data that RWS has the brass located more where its needed and is likely double struck when forming. Actually, more good news since we aren't losing any capacity. It just goes to show, however; the importance in checking different lots. Jace.....Maybe you could re check your RWS when it is fired a couple more times but I don't think it is going to pick up THAT much! [/QUOTE]
