[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1255993, member: 1521"] Weighing brass is a shortcut over measuring H20 capacity. The difference is significant. I could smash one of your cases, and while it still weighs the same it's capacity has changed. Right? Where someone truly seeks matching H20 capacities, they measure and make it so. Simple as that. I actually do this, and the first thing I need to be declare about it is that you will NEVER match H20 capacities with new brass, nor while heavily FL sizing cases. Anyone who matches H20 capacities knows this. Capacities have to be matched with cases at their most stable form, which is fully fire formed, -without sizing. Then, once matched, you can go to your sizing plan, which will degrade the match a little, or a lot(depending on your plan). I'm sure you can search this site for plenty of info on matching H20 capacities. On weighing, and FL sizing, and things to consider about that: Let's say you choose to shoot a 30-06, in a typical SAAMI chamber, and everyone tells you to create rat turds in a violin case for ammo.. So you're heavily FL sizing away, which leads to trimming brass away. Your cases spring back all kinds of ways, and you also get loosening primer pockets(from big clearances), causing routine brass replacement. What do you, with your own reasoning, think this does for case weight matching, or for H20 capacity matching efforts? Think about it. While weighing brass is easy(and for the sake of being easy), it won't help you.. [/QUOTE]
