 This chart is a guide to determine the APPROXIMATE CAPACITY of all popular brands for each cavity. Actual charges may vary due to manufacturing toler-
ances of the cavities, powder and method of use. These charges are not safe to use for maximum loads without first checking them on a scale. Most of these
loads are unusable for many cartridges. However, by not eliminating them at an arbitrary point, no mistaken inference of usable range could be concluded.
