winggunnerComparing cartridges by viewing them side by side
Guys,
I haven't reloaded in 10 plus years and I am getting back into it. Does anyone know of a site there the actual cases can be compared side by side or at least show the case with it measurements?
Thanks
And No, I don't have a manual as yet

KennethIIf you check some powder companies websites, you may be able to find the case drawings along with some loading data. I know Accurate Powder has case drawings for most of the calibers they provide loads for.

like this photo of a 30 Gibbs beside a 30-06

Rusty MarlinThere are so many new cartridges that have come out recently that its difficult to keep up.
STW = Shooting Times Western, these are a series of new magnums that were devoloped by and named after the Shooting Times magazine.
You might want to order a copy of the latest Cartriges of the World. While id doesn't have everything, it does cover many and they are side by each for comparison.
