Has anyone made volume comparison measures of the Buffalo Bore and Hornady .475 Linebaugh cases?
Most of the load data I have seen uses Buffalo Bore brass. My gun was made to shoot converted 45-70 cases, and I've never used anything else. I have been led to believe that the Buffalo Bore case capacity is smaller than converted 45-70, so I have never been worried about using the load data.
Now I have purchased the new Hornady brass. My measurements show Hornady cases hold 51.1 grains of water versus 52.8 grains in the converted 45-70 cases. No big surprise there. What I don't know is how the Buffalo Bore capacity compares.
If someone can measure this, I would sure appreciate it.
