[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 463981, member: 8"] Before trimming. Think about things this way. The amount of brass in a case is the reason for its weight. If you put it through a die it comes out more or less the same dimension on the outside. So the weight must be on the inside. There are two places the extra weight can be- in the case head where it really does not matter much or in the sidewalls where it does matter. With a constant weight of powder the volume it is contained within affects muzzle velocity. All I look for in the process is the weird and goofy case. If you doubt that a case that produces a flyer one time will produce a flyer the second time try the same experiment I did and mark them and randomly fire them in a scored long range competition. When you drop three point on your score with one shot of a marked case you will become a believer. Really good quality brass like Lapua is not likely to need sorting. Buying high quality brass is a good investment. Unfortunately RWS does not import raw brass into the United states anymore but you can buy their loaded ammunition on sale at Midway for same price as the raw brass used to cost. A sad result of the mass hysteria from 9/11. [/QUOTE]
