Homemade brass powder measures.

[Adam Helmer]

I have a bucket of odd brass from the local range. I looked through it today and decided to make some brass powder measures for my powder horns. I took the bucket to my shop and hacksawed a dozen empty brass cases just at the top of the case body. I champferred and deburred the shoulder cut and measured case capacity of 2F Goex. I noted the capacity on the outside of the case with a black marker. I found:

1. The .444 Marlin case holds 70 grains of 2F Goex. (This case was not sawed, but measured as is.)

2. The 7mm WSM and .300 WSM cases each hold 70 grains of 2F Goex.

3. The .300 Win Magnum case holds 80 grains of 2F Goex.

4. The 7mm Rem Ultra Magnum case holds 100 grains of 2F Goex.

I polished all cases with Brasso to a reflection shine and put them into service in my many possibles bags.
