How many oz of Turkey does a 20mm case hold?
Don't rightly know.....but at my first wedding the Groomsmen were all Ordies and we all raised one filled with bourbon for a toast......or two, or three, or ten......but you gave me an idea to bring that idea back to life....be perfect if I'm still kicking for my Seabee Son's wedding if he ever takes a wife......

Meanwhile, I now have to fill one and measure it.....weekend project......stand by

OK research completed. Using 3 cases from my collection of my largest cases, left to right, WWII 20mm MK II - 1.25 oz, 20mm M103 - 1.5 oz, and a FA 41 .50 BMG at .75oz.
All these measurements were taken using my wife's finest measuring devices and my highly calibrated MK1 MOD 0 eyeball.

Well when I get a chance I will dig out a actual 20 x 102MM case birthed from an actual F14/M61A1 circa 1985ish........I do recall a shot glass full filling the case to the top.....a little powder and tracer mixed with bourbon is good for the soul....may regain my youth.....;)

Ok the ink stamps are kinda faded. Got a better one PGU 27/B.
Going to make me dig through storage I see.....I have a box of 103 and a bunch of MK5 Mod0 from a MK12 shoot in Fallon (A4 TAR was there). At the time I thought MK12 brass was a novelty... :oops:

Meanwhile once I get home I think I have a few displayed...over the years my kid played with them a ton. He took some dummy 103 into school in I think 4th or 5th grade without Wife or I knowing....didn't go over too well with school.....not sure what happened to that box:mad:
