Default differing case capacities

I guess I shouldn't have to say this, but those differing case capacities should be taken under consideration when starting to work up loads with anything using hornet brass. Sure makes it interesting when you're dealing with cartridges that only have about 10-12 grains of powder to start with. A grain difference is about 10%. Start low and work up, and use a chrony if possible.

I guess I never thought of Hornady not being commercially made. I just used it because I had a couple boxes of it from factory ammo. It's good stuff, in my book. I always liked hornady 22-250 brass too. Used to get 1x fired stuff cheap from a gunshop down near Philly after the guy blasted cases upon cases of it on his PD hunts. It was great to get 5-10 boxes of 1x fired brass, all the same lot.
