[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 376417, member: 4191"] If you're not loading them to maximum charges and you're content with mediocre accuracy, shoot them as is. +/_7 grains of weight is a huge difference, especially for 30-06 class or smaller cartridges. At least test some of these on a balance beam scale to confirm. I've weighed a lot of brass and +/-3.5 grains is usually about the extent of it. The heaviest might weigh 6-7 grains more than the lightest. If you've got some really old brass - well the tolerances in brass case manufacture and prodution has improved substantially over the past 30-40 years, and than could explain some of your excesses. I would pull them and sort out the problem. If you just want to practice shooting form, work through recoil sensitivity, condition yourself not to flinch, and hear them bang - then fire away.
