[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2381916, member: 1521"] I would not even mix same brand/headstamp brass from different lots. Weight is possibly the poorest indicator of brass character. Consider for a bit that our brass matching function is actually different than reaching same capacity. That it's not directly about H20 capacity, but about same brass hardness, and same chamber clearances from case to case. With this, the same amount of parasitic energy is taken to expand cases to chamber form, shot to shot. The best indicator of this is fully fire formed brass springing back to same volume. If it will spring back with the same energy, it will likely expand with the same energy. Then brass fire formed to stable is critical to a stable load. Once reaching this, you can measure capacities and cull out offenders. It's a way better return with same lot brass. It's a better return with minimal sizing as well. [/QUOTE]
