[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1474963, member: 11960"] Here's the results from the forming I got done today. All cases were trimmed to 2.600" and formed using a false shoulder sized for a crush fit in the chamber. Everything was fired from a 338/375 Ruger Savage Striker. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/JC4vPGu.jpg?1[/IMG] Brass dimensions are an average of 10 samples of each brand. Norma and RWS case are capacities after a single fireform load. Hornady 375 Ruger brass Empty case weight: 262.2gr H20 capactiy: 100.1 Norma 8x68s Load: 22.8gr Trailboss, 277gr MTAC, CCI BR2 Empty case weight: 282.6gr H20 capacity: 95.5 Length after forming: 2.585" [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/AtFOdjM.jpg?1[/IMG] RWS 8x68s Load: 21.8gr Trailboss, 307gr Hammer Hunter, CCI BR2 Empty case weight: 274.6gr H20 capacity: 96.4gr Length after forming 2.582" [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/sdHzi2s.jpg?1[/IMG] I love the fact that I recovered a couple of the bullets in the dirt bank. Muzzle velocities are around 1900 fps and the bullets obviously didn't stabilize. The interesting part was that they grouped fairly well considering they're un-stable and the group was shot by my 16 year old daughter at 100 yards.
