:welcome:
I'm new here also so unfortunately don't have your answer, but I know it would depend upon how you made you 300 whisper cases. If made from .221 fireball brass necked up it will differ from Military 5.56 shortened and necked down. ;)

Which way are you going to be making your 300 Whisper brass? :confused:

Oh, and according to John Donnelly's Cartridge conversion book the
221 fireball has 21.34 grains of water for case capacity if that helps.

I don't have a whisper but I have been working on building a sort of a wildcat.Its been done before i think I'm necking down a 357 Maximum case to .308 the case capacity might be close to whisper.
thanks.
