[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1004794"] There is no hard fast rule. The brass should be fully prepared before so that trimming, chamfer, debur and primer pocket uniforming does not alter the weight after sort. I always start out sorting by .1, then I group them. I will go for .1 groups for BR if I feel like it. Otherwise I make "lots" of 50 within a range. Could be .3, could be .5, could be 1. How much brass for that chambering. Purpose of the rifle. Purpose of that lot of brass. Example: if I had 500 or more Wby 270 brass, I would sort them by .1 then take out lots of 50 that were all in the same .1 window. From there I would cull the extremes for sighters, load torturing, barrel break in, seating depth samples and modified cases. From the remaining "mean" where I don't have 50 in a window, count the remainder, divide my 50 and group em up. Label and go. I keep the tightest lots for the serious shooting, hunt or match. The others are used for practice or whatever. [/QUOTE]
