[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1308820, member: 2736"] When I sort, I Hold all cases to within one grain for general hunting and for accuracy testing, I try to match all cases used to the same volume/weight. the cases that are within 1 grain shoot well but the ones that are the same shoot better. The last time I tested the results were= Zero differences in capacity = .071 for 5 shots@ 100 yards. One grain sort = .092 for 5 shots @ 100 yards. The cases that were out of the sort tolerance (I use them for break in or fouling) = .290 5 shots Some of this is/was probably me, but the differences are noticeable. While sorting, I keep different batches separate for loading and find that some tweaking is necessary to get the same accuracy/velocity when I change to a different batch by upping or dropping the powder charge by 10ths of a grain. I cant tell you how much volume change because it varies from cartridge to cartridge, but I can say that if everything is the same there is a difference in accuracy and SDs. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
