[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1507201, member: 74902"] One time... I had 50 once fired pieces of Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor cases from the same lot. Hornady brass can have a pretty big weight swing. Numbered the cases and sorted then by weight with fired primer in. Recorded in a spreadsheet. The sorted by volume with a mixture of water/alcohol. Did the volume sorting twice for verification. All recorded in the spreadsheet. Found that 9 outta 10 cases sorted the same by weight as they did by volume and the ones that sorted differently by volume wasn't a by much. I concluded that sorting by weight does have a direct correlation to the volume of the cases. It is not a 100 percent correlation but it is very close. So now, I just sort new brass by weight and use the outliers for foulers and plinking rounds. [/QUOTE]
