Quick Load Shot start pressure.

For the 6 BR do we set the pressure to 8525 or to 5000 for bullets seated into the lands?
Thank you in advance..

I use 6,000 as my start pressure when I'm into the lands. It seems to work well with my .308 and .300wsm as well

Thank you... will give it a try.

Also measuring case capacity.. do you fill to the top of the neck junction or to the top of the neck...

Leave the spent primer in place and weigh the case. Take a small bowl with warm water and a couple drops of dishwashing liquid. Mix with your finger and let settle. Take an eye-dropper or turkey baster and fill the trimmed to length case to the top. The dish detergent is to ease surface tention of the water to avoid any air bubbles in the case. Now measure the filled case and do the math. I normally do at least two cases from any new batch after they have been fireformed and sorted by weight.
