[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1308627, member: 74902"] I setup a test for weight sorting vs volume sorting for brass one time. Used 100 cases Hornady 6.5 Creed, 50 Norma WSM and 50 Federal 300 RUM. They were once or trice fired with the spent primer left in. I recorded weight and volume for each. (Actually checked one group twice to verify how accurate I was measuring.) I entered all this in a spreadsheet and sorted by weight and the volume. 80% of all three lots of brass sorted the same either by weight or volume. A rather small sampling but I concluded that, on average, if you sorted 10 cases by weight or volume, only about 2 out of 10 would sort differently. And that difference often was not enough to matter. I do remember a few that sorted differently had a significant difference though. For my needs, I now only weight sort. I think I can afford to let the chips fall where they may on the questionable 20% [/QUOTE]
