[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1165580, member: 74902"] Disagree. Have done volume test also and they do track, but not 100%. After lots of weight sorting and volume checking, and rechecking with spreadsheet tracking of various lots of brass on 2 different calibers. Final conclusion was that 80 to 85% of brass sorts the same by weight as it does by volume. Haven't done this to every piece of brass on the planet, but from various samples it seemed to hold true ( a lot like polling). So maybe 1 or 2 out of 10 will not sort the same. Personally for that margin, I weight sort instead of volume sort. Then maybe, like Doc says, if I find a bad one that's causing a flyer or vertical, I'll toss it into the plinking pile. I just figure, for my time spend, weight sorting does a good enough job. Its really those crazy ones way outside the bell curve that need to be found anyway. I don't do volume testing until I have fired the rounds and before resizing them, so they reflect my chamber and all should then reflect true volume. [/QUOTE]
