[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1087054, member: 2736"] +1 The way I like to measure H2O volume is with fired brass with the spent primer still in and as fired. this give you the usable volume of your chamber and brass. To be more accurate with water volumes after filling the case up to the top of the neck, I take q-tips and wick the water out of the neck until it is even with the bottom of the neck (No water in the neck) with it setting on the scale. this is a more accurate way of telling what your case will hold with a bullet seated above the powder. Then I find the powder best suited for what I want to achieve and using a drop tube (To get the most weight of this powder possible in the case up to the neck) so I know what the maximum I can use. I can always drop the/a charge directly into the case, but if I need to up the charge a little , the use of a drop tube is an option. As stated , different powders, chambers and brass will vary the results but at least give you a usable measurement. (Not just the biggest that is not practical). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
