[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 464368, member: 1521"] Well you can believe the guy who throws you another canned shortcut -because it's easier. Or you can believe the guy who ascerts a truth, and who has the balls to throw BS flags, even if it makes him your favorite ***. Which do you think is better for you? What you wanna hear? Or what you don't? You can change the weight of a case without affecting capacity. Right? Brass weight can vary with deviations in the head/web. Primer pockets, extraction groove, flash hole, and rim thickness for example. Turning, trimming, and chamferring necks, can also contibute to a shift in wt/cap proportion. You can change capacity without affecting weight. Right? Capacity can vary with any dimensional variance. You could have a lighter head combined with thicker case walls to reduce capacity, but show no weight difference. A dimple. Some cases might actually be and stay dimensionally different than others due to springback/hardness in different areas. And yes they may or may not also correlate, consistently or not. Therefore, it is not conservative to 'assume' your brass weight and capacity directly correlate, until measurements actually show this. Actual measurements... Hhmmm, doesn't sound like a shortcut... It isn't. Especially when it needs to be done on every case, every cartridge, every lot(that matters). But can anybody here reason that capacity checks are inferior to weight sorting brass? That capacity checks on fully formed brass might mislead us, or result in inferior ammo? And the big question; Why would a competitor make any assumptions here, or take shortcuts? I don't know why they do, so consistently, I wouldn't. Nor do I think that hunters should skip this, and other reloading steps, because they are 'just' hunting, and not competing.. I am confident that hunting accuracy is plenty challenging, and warrants every trick in the book. Sorry to offend. Maybe I'm too frustrated with the subjects, too often, to be helpful anymore.
