[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1508973, member: 4191"] Brass is so much denser than water, I think weighing the brass cases is better able to ID differences in brass volume, compared to differences in the weight of water volume. If a guy used liquid mercury, volumetric weighing of the case volume would be better. But the reloader would die from mercury toxicity. I don't doubt that case brass varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. I do doubt that the magnitude in difference in density is significant. And if a guy is weighing and comparing cases by individual brands, the brass will be constructed with brass of equal density. Weighing individual cases is so simple and straightforward, it's something I'm willing to do. Messing with liquids and then weighing the liquid content of every casing..., no. Not me. At some point the fun is taken out of the hobby. Each to his own interests and idea of fun. [/QUOTE]
