[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1326063, member: 11011"] sure , I'll help . velocity is a good indicator of pressure . 3220 FPS is humming right along . take a fired case , and do nothing to it . I like to fire a case , do a neck size , then fire it again to be sure it's fully expanded . weigh the empty case . I just let the case on my scale and use a childs medicine dropper to suck up water from a cup and slowly drip it in the brass case . fill the case level to the very top . if you get a bubble on top just touch it with a paper towel , this will suck the extra water up easily . be sure the case is dry on the outside . weigh the full case . the difference in weight , is the water capacity . I like to check a few to get an average of what I'm working with . I'll need ; bullet being used . powder charge in grains . COAL , off the tip of the bullet barrel length . close the bolt , put a cleaning rod down the bbl until it touches the bolt face . mark the cleaning rod , and measure it . do not measure a muzzle brake . the load and velocity your using and approximate temp you were shooting in . I think this will do it . [/QUOTE]
