[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2398870, member: 46202"] You need to measure the H2O capacity. Heavier doesn't mean more volume, it could be thicker brass and have keys volume, the case head could be thick like ADG brass and have less volume. You will want to true QL get your actual powder burn rate, then measure your old brass versus new brass and use QL based on that powders burn rate. I do this all the time. New Lapua brass uses 43.7 grains of Varget, Winchester 44 grains, Hornady 43.5... Winchester weighs more... go figure [/QUOTE]
