[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 430353, member: 4"] I never water weigh cases for consistancy. From my view (even using Remington brass) weighing cases was a waste of time. I tried it all, debur flashholes, clean up turn necks, sort by weight, sort bullets by weight, sort bullets by baring surface, etc. I tried each individually to see what really made a difference. For me what really made a difference was controlling ES. The difference between fully controlled ammunition and ammunition that I only concerned myself with ES issues was small less than .070" at 100 yards, average. So we are talking the difference between .260" and .330". On your best day, you, me or anyone else cannot read the conditions well enough to take advantage of .070". So with that in mind I spend the time I save in reloading, shooting and reading the conditions. You will become a better shooter for this. The piece of mind you speak of comes form consistantly connecting with small targets at 1000+ yards. I can assure you if you have a long range miss it was not because you didn't sort your cases by weight or some of these other BR issues. If you were trying to win a BR match it would be a different story. [/QUOTE]
