[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 624696, member: 9215"] [I]"I weighed several of my cases and found them to have alot of diffrent weights. Even as much as a couple of grains. I'm figuring that it must be residue inside the brass. "[/I] No. You're weighing normal differeces in the cases themselves, such variation is common even in new, unfired cases. The thin film of internal carbon is meaningless; so is the tiny amount of media dust. Most such dust is the result of adding an excessive amount of polish that has dried and returned to a powder, used clothes dryer sheets can trap and remove most of it. We reloaded long before any tumbers or ultrasonics or wet metal cleaners came along. No one has shown there to be any difference in accuracy or barrel life since the surgically clean and/or highly polished cases fetish started a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
