[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 561198, member: 1521"] I can think of rim diameter, extraction groove depth & width, primer pocket diameter & depth, and flash hole diameter or chads left from punching of it. And outside diameters and lengths cannot be assumed matching, but must be made to match to qualify in the question. If you FL size, you can be assured they don't match, because all that brass area is springing back & forth to new dimensions -everytime. New brass does not match either. The case weight in itself doesn't mean anything, until measured to show that it does. So if a case departs from others by 2gr, you would have to measure & compare it's capacity aginst the others to see if it actually holds different capacity anyway. And how could you be sure that cases matching in weight hold the same capacity? So you might as well just measure the capacity of your cases and be done with it. Aside from laziness, is there really a reason not to measure it? Would it hurt a thing to do so? [/QUOTE]
