Here's Ramshot load data that lists your bullet:

It says 47.1 grains is max.

When I checked some data with Quickload's support person, he said the data it gives with your input data does not mean that is what your load produces in your rifle. You're using different stuff than they did. Here's excellent reading for folks interested in Quickload data:

That is why I am asking about the lake city brass and the effect it has on the listed data

Not all military brass has less capacity than commercial brass. Check it against commercial .308 brass with water before you start worrying.

i will do the water test that's a great idea thank you

for some reason I forgot about the water capacity measurement :banghead:
I measured / compared a Hornady and a Lake City brass did this 5 times only
has .3 grain water weight difference ?
I thought that 308 and 7.62 had a few grains difference I guess my load may even be on the lighter/mid load side after all

Some military brass does have a greater difference but it appears your brass doesn't.

It sure does look like your load is good to go.
