[QUOTE="jfolanddvm, post: 2322534, member: 70626"] So, to assume that because brass weighs more, it has to have less volume, would also require the assumption that the material those cases were made from had exactly the same density. More dense components could result in a heavier case with exactly the same internal and external dimensions. The only way to know for sure, as stated would be to do a capacity test. Now for my stupid question of the day - I assume you are measuring the water/isopropyl alcohol after resizing the cases, so what do you use to plug the primer pocket? In these times, I'm not even really wanting to burn one primer to do the test! [/QUOTE]
