[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2998268, member: 108323"] You have a large variation in COL because some of these cases were shot out of a machine gun with a large generous chamber. You will find that the longer ones will also be harder to size so lube generously with a good case lube like Hornady Unique. Do not use a dry lube such as One Shot as you will have stuck cases. You may also find that the base of the case is expanded too much to chamber after full length sizing. I would advise sizing with a small base die and using a case gauge to check each case before chambering in your rifle. You will probably see ejector marks on the MG cases. As someone noted sort by head stamp and year. Once you have that you might sort within those by weight but it probably isn't worth much. [/QUOTE]
