[QUOTE="gunpower, post: 376490, member: 17099"] The weight of the loads should be within 1-1.5 grains of each other! All brass dosen't weight the same- Winchester from Reminton and any other brand all are different. This means that the wall thickness is thicker or thinner from one brand to the next, this in turns mean that you can put more or less powder into an empty cartridge case. The thinner walled case will hold more powder than a thicker walled case. The thicker walled case will hold the same amount of powder but will have less space for it , this will cause a lot higher level of pressure that is generated in the cartridge when it is fired, and less pressure in the thinner wall case. I would recomend that you read a reloading manual from the front cover to the back cover! A loaded case that weights more than 1-4 grains over the rest, can mean that you are way over the recomended pressure for that firearm!! [/QUOTE]
