Post by: R.M. on July 19, 2011, 07:46:54 PM

Does anybody have a chart, or know of where to find one, that lists the BP volume of common CF cartridges?

Not sure where I got it as its been hanging out on my computer for awhile.
The bottleneck cases like the .30-30 and .30-06 must have the smaller mouth diameter and the taper removed leaving a straight walled case.
 
Cartridge     Grains
.22 LR =       5
.320 ACP =   7
.380 ACP =   10
.30 cal Carbine = 20
.38 Special = 23
.357 Mag = 27
.45 Auto = 26
.44 Colt = 35
.45 Colt = 41
.38-40 = 40
.30-30 = 42
.30-06 = 70
.45-70 = 83
