Default .17 Remington Case Capacity Comparison

I picked up some Nosler brass, did some load development and noticed significant cratering on the primers well before my max loads. So my curiosity got the best of me.

This is not scientific by any means but I charged up each fire formed case with 26 grains of 4007ssc. See the results below.

(L) Nosler
(R) Remington





It can't be stressed enough to reduce your loads any time you change a component. Now to get a chrony to see what these velocities look like when approaching my new max.

Enjoy!

.17 Longshot--Thanks for posting the photos and information. I have 400 of those .17 Remington Nosler casings I am going to use in a new .17 Remington build so you probably saved me some grief with this post.

Thanks again.

I have noticed a similar comparison from Win to Horn brass for the 204R. The same load in the Hornady brass does not seem unsafe(I always load a couple tenths under max) but it sure flattens primers in the Hornady brass.

I also have noticed a difference between Remington and Nosler 17 Rem cases with Nosler case capacity being smaller. Saying that I find the Nosler brass very good.
