I need the case capacity in cc's for 9mm luger and for the 9mm 9x18 Makarov. Any help would be appreciated.

9mm Luger is .562, the 380 is .388. Can't help you on the 9x18 Makarov.

Now now Joe, is that information measured from it's trimmed length, fitted lenth, or stretched length, what would it's volume be if accidentally 'fire formed' from a .40 chamber? :)

That being said, what is the average air speed velocity on an unladen Swallow? :D

It's measured from the Jim Carmichaels form. [smilie=s:

I have seen a big variation in 9mm brass as far as case capacity goes so I do not think that one measurement will be accurate for all brands on the market. Also the 9X18 is basically the 9X19 case trimmed 1 mm and so should be almost but not quite what a 9X19 (9mm Luger) holds. There is a considerable difference however in pressure to which they are loaded.

Load from a Disk shows the 9MM lug as .55 cub." and 13.8gr H2O.
The 9 Markarov at .53 cub." and 13.349 of H2O. You will need to convert cubic inches to cc's.

Thanks that will help.
