[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2814506, member: 61747"] Anyone who believes sorting brass by weight likely has never done H2O volume testing. In the old days people mixed brass and would sort by weight to get close. Keep in mind, some brass may be as much as 50 grains difference in large magnums. That can have an affect. For todays long range reloader we know to not mix brass and generally we use quality brass. Using quality brass of the same brand typically assures you a case that reacts similarly across the lot of brass you possess. That nets a minimal affect on accuracy etc. Why volume....... the largest concentration of brass in a case is near the head/base. The web across the body and neck of the case is thin and relatively uniform and inconsistent brass thickness is spread out over that length and diameter. Minimal affect unless the neck area is out of whack, which is why neck reaming, neck cutting, and mandrel dies are used. My personal opinion after going through this bs is to mandrel expand, ignore brass weight, don't neck turn, and live a happier life. [/QUOTE]
