300PRC Hornady vs Lapua case capacities

[robert8904]

I'm about to start loading 300PRC. I have a few suitable powders, including Ramshot Grand. Hodgdons website has data using Hornady brass, but I have Lapua brass. I have searched without results to find out the difference in capacities of those cases. Has anybody here compared them?

I just measured the two and came up with 95.4 for Hornady and 96.9 for Lapua. That surprised me since the Lapua case is around 8 grains heavier, but that is what mine weighed.

Thank you! Lapua must add a bit of depleted uranium to their alloy. You know, to justify the price...

My brass was virtually identical to yours!
