I started down this rabbit hole to find a way to reference loading information for the 8,15x46R to my 8x48R Sauer. There is virtually nothing for the Sauer but in size the case is close to the 8,15.

So at this point it looks to me like I can simply measure the water weights in grains and go from there for my reference as I try to sort out loads with various powders and bullet weights. Smiley
  
If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

A powder scale will measure .1 grain. .1 grain is .00647989gm. Who has a liquid measure accurate to .00647989cc? So weighing the water is more accurate than interpolating a cc measure especially since only a 1cc syringe is graduated in tenths. Just saying. (Sure, 1cc is close enough for programs.)


This is exactly my thought!

As to using alcohol, recommendations? I like Blackbush.


Seems like the concept of weighing a case filled with water is lost on some...   And if you know the weight of the water, you also know the volume, because conversion is straightforward.

I recall reading somewhere that a case full of BL-C2 powder was equal to a case full of water. But, I could be all wet.

Water is cheaper than BL-C(2)
