New 30 Caliber Case Capacities
« on: August 14, 2009, 03:03:49 PM »
I was wondering how the case capacities of the new 308 Marlin Express, the  30 TC and the 307 Win. compared to the 30-30, 30-06 and 308 win. The old NRA book of handloading lists the 30-30 at 45 grains of water, the 308 around 58 and the 30-06 at 69. These figures were with the case full to the mouth with water.

AmmoGuide lists the 308MX at 51.9 gr water, 30TC at 53.2 gr, and 307W at 55.8 gr.

QuickLOAD lists the follow capacities in grains of water:
308MX:    51.00
30TC:       54.00
307 Win:  54.00
30-30:      44.00-45.00 (depends whether using CIP or SAAMI pressure limits, which has no impact on capacity, so I can't explain the difference)
30-06:      68.20
308:         56.00
