[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1165575, member: 10755"] You're wasting your time. The idea of weight sorting is to have very close internal volume, unfortunately, there is no real comparison between case weight and internal volume. I spent days weighing, sorting and measuring case volume with a burrette and isopropyl alcohol of 500 300WM ww-super cases to no avail. Cases that were heavier than others didn't 'track' as you'd expect, some had more capacity than others, the same was true of lighter brass, it just didn't 'track' as expected. The reason I did this was because, I, too, used to buy large batches of cases and weight sort. Even though I did this, I still had fliers, I would put them aside for later separation, then someone suggested I measure the ACTUAL volume of those cases, in every one, the capacities were different and this was with Lapua comp brass. All bags had the same batch number, obviously the brass sheet used was the same, as the weights were close, but the dies used must have differed somehow causing internal differences. YMMV. But I doubt it. Cheers. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
