[QUOTE="RBrowning, post: 59812, member: 412"] I see where perpendicularity (I don't think "squareness" is a word) can be an advantage. I don't see any downside to doing it other than a small investment in time when you first get the brass. But I would like to know how much of an effect this has on sorting by weight. The premise of sorting by weight is to get a more consistant volume inside of the case. Now you may have two cases that have identical volumes but one is square and one is not. In removing metal to make it square you have now changed it's weight. The same could be asked of primer pocket uniforming and flash hole deburring. Each is taking out a very small amount of metal, but could they add up to enough so that you would put cases with equal volumes into two different classes because you "remachined" them? Also has anyone actually measured how much out of square/flat we are talking about? And does it remain constant after firing? Just curious. [/QUOTE]
