I'm loading current 124gr LRN (coated) using WSF. Since it's the only powder I have I'm trying to get as smart as possible. I'm not going to experiment with loads beyond what is available on Hodgdon, but it's useful, for example, to understand how much powder it takes to fill a case.
I've seen multiple sources state a .86 ml (=cc) case volume. When I calculate the case volume excluding the base I get ~1.2ml. I'm using SAAMI specs, but I'm not taking the wall thickness into account which probably explains the difference.
Understand the wall thickness varies by manufacturer, but what's a good approximate value? Using the .86ml case volume a full case would contain 10.7gr of WSF based on the WSF density obtained from a Lee table.
