    What is the case capacity in terms of water? If I know that number and the specific type and length of the bullet, the length of your brass and the OAL you want to seat the bullet to I can enter all those numbers into my quickload program and it can tell me what your available case capacity will be for trailboss powder. It can even tell me approximate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity if you tell me the barrel length too. Just place an empty brass on the scale, zero that out and then fill the case with water and weigh it again. If the case has a new primer you'll have to replace it and let the brass dry out afterwards.
