[QUOTE="Andrew Cowling, post: 1853717, member: 109547"] Weight sorting is a waste of time. Case preparation is every thing. I have purchased (Nosler) weight sorted brass. Once the cases were sized, trimmed, inside neck reamed, outside neck turned, primer pockets reamed and flash holes debured those same weight sorted brass had up to a 17 grain spread. The question is, where is the weight difference? In most cases I have found it to be in the thickness and diameter of the rim. That being the case it is of zero consequence and has no bearing on accuracy. The internal volume IS important NOT the weight of the case. I have just finished fully match preparing some winchester cases and desided to test this weight sorting myth out. The lightest case weighed 153 grains and the heaviest weighed 179 grains that's a 26 grain difference. Those 2 bullets hit the paper touching. So all that time weight sorting was wasted.
