[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2191191, member: 116439"] I use Lapua brass for almost all my calibers. I neck turn, clean the flash holes and primer pockets. Then after the third firing I wet tumble stainless, re-turn the necks and trim for length. I checked for the weight then since they are fireformed, neck turned, flash holes and primer cleaned. They are really close within 1 gr. so I never have done it again as far a weighing. I know Lapua is consistant, but if you really want to get the case accurate you need to do capasity. I try buy good brass of the same lots and trust/hope in the manufacture that each case is the same. weighing is a waste of my time. If you have so many different weights in the brass don't expect to use for "F" class or ELR. However they are just fine for hunting and banging steel. [/QUOTE]
