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
