I got into a mood to start using QL again after my post on getting some confusing results with my .308 Lapua brass and I thought I would share.

I measured 10x random .308 Lapua cases empty and filled with H20:

Average wt = 176.46 (w/primer) / ES = 1.8 / SD = .609
H20 weight (case capacity) = 55.96 / SD = .1955

Also measured some .308 bullets for length (10x each for an average)
175 SMK: Av = 1.236" / SD = .00428
168 AMAX: Av = 1.2815" / SD = .00088

For .223 Shooters:

<span style="font-weight: bold">LC09 brass (10x)</span>
Average wt = 94.8 (w/primer) / ES = 1.7 / SD = .505
Case capacity (in H20) = 31.24 / SD = .09661

77SMK bullet length: Av = .9861" / SD = .00226

realize those case capacities in H20 are for MY chamber - all the other measurements should be good for QL users to input.
