[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 30447, member: 34"] Len If your measuring water weight for capacity here is the way I have done it for many years. Take two fired primers and put them in upside down in the Wildcat case and one in the parent case. Weigh EACH case seperatly and write that number down. Now fill BOTH cases up to the top of the neck with water and weigh each one seperatly and write that number down. Subtract the empty case weight from each one that you filled up with water. Empty and filled parent case and empty and filled wildcat case. Now subtract the lower number weight from the highest and you will have the case capacty difference of the wildcat against the parent. Many times two "fired" cases can be used for this measurment as this is the chamber diminsions and many shooters will only neck size their cases when loading them. This way it gives the "full" capacity of both case's. The grain "difference" between the two will still be the same, however. Later DC [/QUOTE]
