    PPU brass

    I had read a few positive comments about PPU brass so bought a couple of boxes of factory ammo, so I could use the brass in one of my 308's. Neck sized brass fired in the other rifle won't chamber, so I will be full length sizing for the second rifle (Bergara single shot).
    I loaded a few rounds yesterday and noticed case fill with 45gr of AR2208 was quite a bit higher than in the Lapua neck sized rounds, as in full maybe even slightly compressed. Does anyone have any comments or info regarding case capacity of PPU brass versus other brands?
    I'm wondering about whether I should even fire these rounds, its a listed starting load but I expect it will generate more pressure with the smaller case capacity.
