[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2275722, member: 10755"] Case weight within 2-3 grains means very little in volume difference. After trimming flash holes in 100 cases, the trimmed brass shavings from most brands weigh around 35 grains….so how much weight difference is there going to be with cases that have a burr and those that don’t? Also, many cases, including Lapua, Norma and other top brand cases often have an extractor groove that is cut eccentrically, this will alter the weight of those in comparison to those that are not eccentric. I check actual volume using a Burette that is graduated for tenths if CC’s. This is the only way I know to get consistent volume readings. Without doing this tedious testing, I would get fliers. Case weight means very little to me. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
