Having never shot bullseye pistol, I stuck with common cases from Federal, Speer, Winchester, and whatever factory brass cases I came across at the range.When I went into rifle shooting, I immediately used Lapua for precision handloads, including during my stint in competitive High Power Service Rifle (Lapua for the 600 yard line, Lake City for the 200 and 300 yard lines).I only recently started shooting 6.5mm Creedmoor due to the fact that I have not been shooting bolt rifles for quite some time, and only got back into them early last year. They are considered the std for handgun brass. For this test, I again used the A&D FX-120i scale, this time with a syringe and water to precisely measure case capacity for fired cases, and also a brand new case for comparison.Here we see another really interesting and compelling figure: the measured case capacity for Starline 30-06 brass was different from the SAAMI spec by only 0.18 grains! But coincidentally, when I finally acquired a 6.5mm Creedmoor (through rebarreling my Savage), Lapua 6.5mm Creedmoor brass started making their way to consumers, so I immediately handloaded Lapua brass for 6.5 Creedmoor.While Lapua brass is highly regarded among all the rifle shooters, there were many gripes regarding Lapua’s decision to not only go with small rifle primer pockets when the original 6.5mm Creedmoor specification uses large rifle primers, but also Lapua’s implementation of a 1.5mm / 0.059″ diameter flash hole, as opposed to the ‘standard’ 0.080″ diameter flash hole. In this regard, it would appear that Starline brass is thinner and may have slightly more case volume.Of course, what really matters is what the result on target is.As stated earlier, Lapua is the only brass I have ever purchased that I am comfortable loading straight out of the box without any preparation. This is a great story on just what the 30-06 is capable of doing. Also, the higher degree of quality control is further evident in Lapua versus Starline when analyzing the standard deviation and/or extreme spread of the measurements. Starline rifle brass, initial review I needed to retire some of my Lapua brass due to loose primer pockets recently and decided to replace it with some Starline. Designed as a military cartridge, the 30-06 saw action during WWI (in bolt-action rifle platforms), in WWII (including with the semi-automatic M1 Garand), and beyond. I expected weight to vary more than that!Case capacity is literally the internal volume of a brass case to the top of the case at the mouth. Sedalia, Missouri, 65301. I decided to put Starline 30-06 brass through my first set of “brass lab tests” let’s see how it did!Here’s a picture of Guy’s Remington 700 chambered in 30-06- the rifle used to take all of the game shown here:In my ongoing “TESTED” content series I’m taking a look at components, guns, and other equipment through a “data-driven lens”.

Starline brass has a lower case capacity than Hornady brass due to Starline’s increased thickness at the base, ... they give the same SD/ES as the rest. Trying to get a sense on the velocities your getting compared to mine. to make it a truely long range precision rifle.Hi Gavin, loved your story with Guy on the 30-06, I’ve been using this cartridge here in Aus for the best part of 50 years.

The simplest way to measure case volume is to measure the weight of water required to fill the case- up to the top flush with the case mouth. Cheers Rex.Excellent segment. CONTACT US.

But it is indicative of the quality control and attention to detail of the completed brass.Although, brass weight is definitely relevant to most reloaders, since this does provide insight to both brass thickness and case volume. Which is way too much for my liking, prefer 0.002". It will not go down to +/- .0001″.I measured the weight, overall length, and headspace length (base to shoulder) for a small sampling of new out of the bag cases of Starline brass, then did the same with Lapua for a comparison.Out of twenty (20) randomly selected Starline 6.5mm Creedmoor cases:Compared to twenty (20) randomly selected Lapua 6.5mm Creedmoor cases:Comparatively, the two brands are about equal in terms of length averages, but Lapua is about 1.5 grains heavier. The furthest distance I have taken an animal with the 30-06 was a really nice antelope buck at 500 yards and the closest was a black bear at only about 8 feet!
