I don't have a 1cc dipper. I can probably pick one up this week.

I'm confused by this: That is easy. Weigh a empty, case that has been fired but still has the powder in it. They you fill it with water until the water is flat level with the case rim. A medicine dropper is a good way to fill the case and use a tissue to absorb and water drops on the outside of the case or wick the water dome flat that forms on the top of the column of water.

If the cartridge has been fired, how is there powder in it? Do you mean the carbon build up or should I add powder to the case, if so how much?

I don't have 2 chronos. Since the 3 shots I fired were very consistent, maybe I could shoot through 1 chrono at 2 distances. Not real scientific, but it might get us in the ball park. especially if a 5 shot string at 10 feet had a low SD and the 25 yard sting also had a low SD. Of course, I believe in unicorns. haha

You weigh the empty case and the case full of water, subtract to get the weight of the water, convert that grain weight to grams. One gram of water equals 1 cc of water so you arrive at case capacity in cubic centimeters. Somewhere on the net there is a table of capacities of common cases, but it seems to me it didn't specify the brands and there are differences that may or may not be meaningful to the calculations.

Thanks guy for clarifying. I leave Friday for a deer hunting. I hope to get time to get this info together before my trip, but with work, packing and other obligations it's really doubtful. So don't think my slow response is a lack of interest. :)
