[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1661131, member: 93138"] That sounds like several hours of work to get the volumes of 100 cases, which is what I was trying to find a way to reduce. If bare case weight could cull out the extreme deviant cases then you wouldn't need to spend as much time on them. Based on what has been posted here and my own research I'm not confident in that approach. One thing I did discover in researching aspects of this topic is that cartridge brass weighs almost exactly 8.5 times* more per volume than water. This tells me that a small burr or deviance in dimension will cause a much larger delta in case weights than it will in the weight of water displaced or added by this deviation. Thus all of the case prep needs to be done before weighing the case for any reason. *[URL]http://www.matweb.com/search/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=8cfc8c6ae39449039af46d6a70493d22&ckck=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
