The only way I would go to the trouble of measuring the volume of cases is if I traveled to competitive rifle matches.
Don't fall off that cliff. It's an a very hard climb back to sanity.I could see the logic in that. I've heard that Lake City cases have thicker walls and, subsequently, smaller internal case capacities than commercial cases, and that leads to increased pressure from equivalent powder charges. That said, measuring the volume of cases must be a labor intensive, time consuming chore.
.308 yes, 5.56/.223 not so much, may be lighter, may be heavier, may be about the same.I've heard that Lake City cases have thicker walls and, subsequently, smaller internal case capacities than commercial cases
They do at that, sooner or later the odds catch up with us when we flirt with danger.Bad things happen when you push things......
Difference is you can choose to go slow with an overloaded vehicle.Avoid maximum charge levels, stay mid level, and you won't be plucking blown primers out of the magazine well. Bad things happen when you push things......
