[QUOTE="Tony243, post: 2998029, member: 85717"] I decided to do a "one and done" purchase of once-fired military brass to last the rest of my shooting life. So now to the sorting... This stuff is all over the place in both weight and length, so my question is how tightly do I sort it for good results? The lengths vary from 1.983 to 2.032, but 95% are in the 1.994 to 2.018 range. Weights vary from174.0 to 181.8, most between 175.5-180.5. I plan to pull a group of 200 that will be within one grain in weight and all trimmed to 2.010 for precision shooting. That will leave 800 with 5 grains weight variance, most under the trim to length of 2.010. I will be using several different bullet weights to feed two bolt guns and an AR10. Should I just cull small groups for each bullet and try to keep it sorted after firing? I'm looking at all this brass and just shaking my head. Need advice! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
