My last post on the Indian .308

I decided to compare the weight variation of the cases to some others. So I took five Federal .308 cases and weighed them:
146.9
147.7
148.5
147.1
145.9, max variation of 2.6 grains. This in five cases picked at random, likely including stuff from different manufacturing lots.

Then five cases from Austrian military ammo:
143.9
142.0
142.6
142.4
142.7, max variation of 1.9 grains. All these were from the same battlepack, so I assume the same lot.

Compare that to the variation in the Indian of 5.3 grains, in cases- I think- of the same lot.
