[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1806380, member: 2736"] Cases with less volume (Powder capacity) will normally produce more pressure) so you are right to reduce your load. I recommend that You fully Prep the cases and separate them buy weight or volume which ever method you use. I believe that If you full length size, prep the primer pockets, trim to the same length, and weight sort, they will be very close in volume. If the out side of the case is identical, and they weigh the same the volume will be very very close. for sure it is better than not weight sorting. The times that I have selected cases that were exactly the same instead of within 1 grain lots, accuracy has improved over the ones that were within 1 grain. This proved to me that It was a viable method and I didn't have to mess with liquids, chemical wetting agents, spent primers and the general messiness of the process. No matter how you do it, consistence in all areas is beneficial, and no matter if you change brands or use different batches of cases the weight/volume need to be checked. Buy loading one batch and documenting the weight/volume of the last batch of cases sited in with. If you check the new brass cases after sorting, you might get lucky and have one batch of the new brass that matches the old cases and reloading for the same results will be easy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
