[QUOTE="Gmac, post: 2499533, member: 94717"] I'm speaking in generalities here, not to anyone in particular, but Lots of people are in a hurry to find a magical and universal load or try to duplicate the work and success of others. Sometimes it works or gets you in the ball park .. sometimes it can be down right dangerous - especially in an era of an explosion of new gun owners, reloader and the internet. But back to the original post .... the data can be found for internal case capacities ... it just needs to be verified to be of any real use. The train of thought is that the cartridge brass is formed to meet a SAAMI chamber spec which means that the external dimensions can only be so big. If you have more brass or thicker brass, logic would lead you to assume the internal dimensions would be lessened. This will also change as brass gets fired and forms/stretches to your individual chamber (which can definitely vary from gun to gun). If you're going to work up a load, it's best to do it after a couple of firings ... which is why many handloaders first fireform. [/QUOTE]
