[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1716375, member: 18849"] Although weight is important it must be combined with "stabilized" volume. Also volume & weight must be combined with stabilized forms, state of anneal, composition of brass itself (brand & lot number) and probably variables to numerous to mention. My method; 1. Brand sort 2. Weight sort 3. Usual brass prep.. (ie; pockets, flasholes, sizing, chamfers). 3. After 2 or 3 fireforms (stabilized after repeat pocket uniforming shows no more rear-ward brass flow) , then size, trim, re-weigh sort to +or- .5 to .1 grain & then volume sort to +or-.3 to .5 gr (Tighter tols. with smaller cases). 4. Etch label cases by number (between case head & chamber mark). 5. Shoot sort...remove outliers(repeat offenders) after several groups. Good brass makes the above process way easier. (Ie; Lapua, Norma, Nosler, Peterson etc)... My .02 [/QUOTE]
