[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1112044, member: 74902"] Use fired cases with the primer still in them. This allows the cases to have more uniform dimensions on the outside which affects capacity on the inside. The primers act as the plug for the flash hole. Need a bowl of water with few drops of alcohol to lessen water tension and a dropper that will fit down into the case some. 1) weigh the case 2) fill with the dropper 3) weigh case again 4) record the difference in weight. 5) You can lay out a piece of tape along the side of a table. Write the weights on it and stand the case up next to the corresponding weight as you go. After a while you will start to notice a bell shaped curve in the sorted brass. It will now be easy to see what the average weight is and the number of cases closes to the average weight. Shoot the cases with the closest volumes together. [/QUOTE]
