    But ideally you should use the maximum of the original charge or lower and fill the rest of the case with filler weather that be wads or corn meal or something
    That makes a lot of sense
    The Magtech brass is pretty thin and has a completely different cartridge base

    I have Magtech and Bertram 577 Snider brass and I can go measure the volume difference
