Thread: Case life and case weights.

Reloading my 22 hornet after a burst of renewed interest I noted how much easier in was to reload projectiles into some cases I was given by a forum member. The old Imperial cases I have used for 40 plus years have been showing there age.
Looking at the Winchester cases the necks are visibly thicker so I weighed some. Imperial are 49.8 grains and Winchester are 54.1 grains nearly a 10% increase. These are primed case weights but still quite a difference and could be a wake up call with full loads.
