Thread: A few 375s

Looking at those cases actual powder capacity (base to shoulder neck junction) would have to go to the lunatic?

The necks are the same length give or take a thou, in the same brass they have the same internal capacity.

The DCM diameter is smaller at the base & bigger at the shoulder than the Lunatic by a small amount each way.

Actually that is not true Greg. The Lunatic has more total capacity than the DCM in the same brass and even more so when measured to the neck shoulder junction.

If you are going to call others about misleading capacities don't start doing it yourself.

Thanks for your input Luke

Do you have a bit of 375 DCM & 375 Lunatic brass in front of you ?

Did you watch the video I put in this post ?

It is pretty clear, simple & straight forward.

So you can see how easy it is to measure case capacity.

375 Lunatic & 375 DCM case capacity. - YouTube

Yes the DCM had .5 grain less water in that video, .5 of a grain is very little water, I can weigh it again & get it .5 grain over no problem.

That video was made in one take no editing.....
