The old NRA rule of thumb was that 11 grains of brass equalled one grain of powder capacity. Not far from what you see in .25-06.

I weighed some new WW .223 brass for target shooting. I keep it in one-grain lots. I got two big lots, 95 and 96 grains with small batches of 94 and 97 grain outliers. I have just a very few 93s.
