[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1165624, member: 50867"] No .... Weight sorting your brass won't produce a 1/4 MOA improvement and 1/4 MOA at 1000 yards (a distance you shouldn't be hunting at anyway unless you can consistently put 10 shot inside a 8 inch circle at that distance) amounts to two and a half inches. Most "long range" shots are in the 500 - 800 yard range (1.25 to 2 inches). I'd spend the time working on wind reading and not get bogged down in weighing brass. Look at it this way. If you took your .5 grain of brass off of each case and put it into a container, you'd need to take .5 grains off of 4251 pieces of brass to collect one ounce. Now consider that .5 grains of brass is not concentrated in one place on the brass case - it is relatively equally spread throughout the entire body of the case. Dloes that mean it will affect case volume? Of course it does. But only by the amount of volume occupied by the mass of .5 grains of brass. Follow the advice of [U][U][URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/members/mudrunner2005-12995/"]MudRunner2005[/URL][/U][/U] and go hunting. [/QUOTE]
