Still learning this cartridge and it's idiosyncrasies so today I did a little investigating and an inconclusive test with these two brands of brass..
Took one piece each and plugged the primer pockets with an upside down primer and then used my new Hodgdon LeveRevolution powder as the media to try and measure case volume.
After five drops and leveling off full cases the Hornady averaged 148.5gr and the Starline avg. was 147.4gr The cases themselves weighed; Hornady 110.7gr., Starline 109.3gr..
So with this short test it looks like the deviation between the two brands is not that great. Being only 0.3gr difference. With the Starline have a slightly larger capacity.
