1/3rd fill.

Fill them completely..and they will run very warm/hot

Right, but how the HECK do you determine how much is 1/3rd?
I guess the bearing manufacturer can calculate the exact volume of the
bearing that isn't filled with steel, but I think this could be hard to
do correctly in the field. Hmm, I suppose you could weight the bearing
and then calculate the volume of the OD - ID and that would get you
pretty close.
