Volume confusion?

[robange]

This is my recipe formulated in Beersmith. How can my boil volume be less than my batch size and bottling volume. Forgive me if this is a dumb question

I think those referring to the volume of the container they are in. I.e

6.5 gallons carboy for fermenting and 6.25 gallons for bottling

To be clear, you are saying the bottling volume is actually what my keg holds(my bottle)
