Can you fellas help me with something. I'm looking for the water capacities for the following .338 calibers:

338-08
338x57
338-06

Please note whether it is to the mouth or base of neck, thanks

I know you didnt ask...but ...if you take most of the taper out of the 376 Steyr case and neck it to .338 it will give a case cap between the -06 and WM of about 70 gr water to bon.
