Have a ton of 30-06 brass I just tumbled and deprimed. Here are the average weights of each brand of cartridge. Some people think heavier cartridges are better, so this info may be of some use. All the OAL are about the same. Weights in grains. For each brand, at least 30 shells were weighed. Next I will have one of the kids measure, record and calculate all the volumes (what a way to earn an allowance).
LC had the least weight variation. PPU had the most variation and the lightest cases. FC is the leader with super heavy cases!
Nosler = 181.8g
RP = 195.9g
"Super Speed" = 186.6g
FC = 203.2g
Winchester = 185.9g
LC (various dated headstamp) = 193.4g
UMC = 206.4g
Super-X = 183.1g
WW Super = 188.5g
PPU = 180.2g
Norma = 181.8
