If you do Luke please make sure you put all of them up including the chamber ones

The necks are basically the same length, the DCM is bigger in diameter at the shoulder than the Lunatic, which removes some of the 50 VS 40 degree shoulder advantage, the Lunatic is bigger in...

I never said he wasn't clever, he is very clever & has a lot to offer the shooting faturnity, but......

If he knew not to put a VM into the P-Chey it was because of his dramas putting the Lunatic...

VC pop around & measure these cases some time please

Since then it has been fired with a projectile in it & not just fireformed it has grown a little as you would expect from a case that went through what this one did to be formed...

Like for like...

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 ?



Yes the DCM had .5 grain less water in that...

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...

With the rig I used, Barnard P-Chey, 1.35", 32" barrel, the 375 DCM was the best.

I believe the 375 VM2 & a similar one not pictured will be faster than the DCM, but the rigs weigh considerably...

Well I've had a break through & finally found the missing 6 grains of water :)

Here it is.

If you bring the Speights & I will tell you the capacity :)

I made this video this arvo because I was bored & wanted to try to clear a few things up.

It is pretty clear, simple & straight forward.

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

No drama :)

I have a new toy on the way :thumbsup:

I've gotta have a go with a Dillon one day :thumbsup:

I'm still waiting on the barrel, it can't be far away :)

Yes I have got one on a 28" barrel in a 700 Action.

I don't have the data on me at the moment, sorry.

I only had limited testing with it, I only have 5 bits of brass to test the 300, 340 & 380...

It has it's own proprietry case, which I'm still waiting for......might even cancel the order at this rate....

It gets along pretty well, I need to do more testing, but need cases to do it :oh...

Yes that was what we were told....that is not the case, not even close.....maybe we have "special" water in Nelson...or a form of artistic licence was used when measuring it's capacity ???

In the...

"Disappointing" in the platform it is in.

It might go better in bigger action with longer barrel, ie a 20+ kg rifle....

The 375 DCM is the King of the 375s at this stage in a portable rifle :)

I have been "playing" with a few 375s over the last year or so, I grew out of the 338s ;)

Here they are with a 375 CE projectile & their water capacities, full to the top of the neck with...
