I've been wanting to give Nosler brass a try so I bought some from my local gun shop . I do have some for another rifle , I haven't used any of it yet , but it looked good . I weighed through the one box of 50 and took the heaviest and the lightest ones and also just a bunch of random ones to give me a few to work with . I first fired them this morning and now I have checked the water capacity . I'm pleased with how well these are matched up from nosler . 0.44 grain spread in water capacity . here is what I have tested . if the primer pockets hold up I'll be a happy shooter . I thought you guys might be interested .
these are not in any certain order .
empty .................. full of water .............................water capacity after first fire
