[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1694611, member: 40852"] Case weight can be an indicator of case capacity. However, I had a learning experience this year when I bought some Lapua brass for the .308 Win that had a case weight spread more than I thought it should be. I wrote to Lapua and their reply was that they strive for consistent case capacity. So I did an experiment by firing the cases in my rifle and measuring the water weight from the heaviest brass and the lightest brass. The water weight was within 0.1 grain. After seeing that I don't worry about it when using Lapua brass. Other brands of brass may be different. I would suggest firing a few of the heaviest and a few of the lightest and see how much difference in case volume they have by filling the fired case with water and measuring the water weight.
