[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2786840, member: 106514"] Ex: I rebarreled a Savage to 6mm Rem (SAAMI). I used Hornady brass and did break-in and work-up. Just for grins, I plugged the primer pocket with clay and filled a case or 2 with water before firing, and after firing, I repeated this test. Almost 5 grains (FIVE GRAINS!) of difference between the before and after! That's about a 9% increase! That's a whole 'nother cartridge!! So yes, if you did workup with 1x brass, you'll have to continue to use 1x brass, regardless of brand. The change in capacity/chamber fit is radical outside of a custom match chamber. It changes the whole dynamic of the harmonics. Not as simple as equalizing pressure between the 2 loads. [/QUOTE]
