[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 304254, member: 1521"] "I don't understand why weight wouldn't correlate to internal capacity?? With internal capacity being so important to a loads performance, I don't understand why more people don't do a quick segretation of their new brass like you have done" I'll answer that; People are lazy.. They reason that everything is clean, simple, and easy. They want brass weight to resolve things because it's way easier than measuring capacity. Shooters go to great lengths to reason away neck turning just the same. Or to endure torturous cold barrel load development? No way Way easier to shoot hot groups and assume all other conditions hold. Anyway, brass is alot heavier than water or powder. I know it's easy, but you can't just generalize that brass weight variance directly correlates with actual case capacity. Especially without knowing where the weight is. It could be primer pocket + rim - groove.. Capacity has to 1st be measured and verified, as was the case here. The truth is never known without challenging it from all directions. This,, because only the truth passes all tests. [/QUOTE]
