[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1308332, member: 42308"] I sort by weight. It quickly allows me to segregate into 1g lots. I trade what I don't use with my buddies and we all end up with more of what we want. If the exterior dimensions are the same then any variation in weight is related to a change in internal volume. Heavier means thicker brass with less internal volume. If you are hoping to load close to max and are using 'lite' brass and have an extremely heavy one sneak through you'll be pretty far over maximum pressure. Quick extreme examples sand most commonly found of empty brass trimmed for length 5.56x45 88g-105g 91g-93g is most common 7.62x51 149g-178g 168g-172g is most common .30/06 174g-205 182g-186g is most common I sort bullets for my long range hunting rifles as well but that's a whole other thread.
