[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 464180, member: 2736"] +1 I have posted on this several times before and My experiences have verified that volume does make a difference. After sorting brass in 1 grain lots I normally find one size/weight shoots better than the others (Although not by much) I always keep records on each load and case volume/weight so that when I sort NEW brass I can use the same volume and with the same lot of powder my zero does not change. The best example of this is the difference between military 308 brass and commercial brass The military brass it heaver and has less volume. The pressure is greater in the military brass and if you use it you have to back off on the max powder charge used in the commercial brass. The controversy over how to weight/volume sort is just a difference in opinion on which is best. the main thing is that it is done the same way each time.(If you change back and fourth your data may be invalid). Some like to use a liquid to volume sort and others like to weight sort. I find no advantage in one over the other. Weight sorting seems to be the easiest and fastest with the same accuracy so that is what "I" prefer. If you do a good job of case prep and sizing it is very accurate. I world never tell anyone that doing 'anything' is a waste of time if it makes there loads more consistant ,shot to shot. Ammo is like a well made rifle. the more accurately it is made the more accurately it will shoot. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
