Thread: Brass thickness vs capacity question

Grunta

A simple way to measure the capacity of your cases is with water.

Trim a couple of each brand of case to the same length.

Fill each one with water until the miniscus forms at the top of the neck.

Empty each case in turn into your powder tray and weight the amount of water.

This will tell you which case has the bigger or smaller internal capacity. Bigger weighs more.

You can also measure the actual capacity in millilitres with an accurately marked measuring cylinder and can easily convert this to CC's if you wish.
