[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 557757, member: 1521"] Few things; -Capacity does make a difference, and it can be seen across a chronograph. -Until measuring capacity you can not know what the weight means, and therefore should not use weight alone as a basis of culling. SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL MEASURE IT. -FL sizing does not improve capacity variance from fireformed/unsized cases, but degrades it from there. Fireforming is a prerequisite. Anyone who capacity checks cases should realize that it must be done with fully fireformed/unsized cases pulled from a smoking chamber. This is the most consistant they will ever be, and you want to see it at it's best before deciding on what stays or goes -based on capacity. You don't do it with new cases. You don't do it with sized cases. Once you FL size cases, your capacity basis falls apart because you've changed it, and springback countered everywhere to leave variance -unrelated to the case volume.. Just as unrelated as weight... Hell you could squish brass flat with a hammer, zero H20 capacity,, same weight! Blow the shoulders forward for an extra 10gr capacity? SAME WEIGHT! I measure capacity, and I'm sayin it's not a big deal. It's easy. The ONLY downside to it, is that some fully prepped and fireformed cases will likely depart from the pack w/resp to capacity, and sadly they must go. Well, ding dong they're gone, and then I don't have to worry about capacity mismatches. Bottom line; you can find some problems weighing brass so it's not a bad thing to do. But it is not a replacement for capacity measurements. [/QUOTE]
