I recently posted a question regarding case volume between manufactures of cartridge cases. I got some really interesting responses.
Now, if one loads a case to say 90 to 95 % case capacity with the same powder charge. The 90 to 95% is just an arbitrary number depending on powder. The variation being case volume from case to case not powder charge. If the muzzle velocity difference is relatively consistent, below 50 fps difference at 2700 fps.
Does it matter if the case is not full or that the case volume is not equal when shooting at 100 yds?
 
I'm loading 308 and 30.06. I've got all the brass grouped by manufacturers. The largest groups are R.P. I have about 250+ in each caliber and a lot in CCW and PMC.
