[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1695228, member: 26227"] I follow some of the people here but I have done experiments with what does the best. here is why I shoot and resize all brass before I segregate into weight lots. first, the first firing will stretch the brass at different rates. so what might have been your heaviest case could be somewhere around your lowest weight now. okay before segregating I would full length size, trim to a uniform length, true the necks, set flash hole size and center, set uniform primer pickets. all shave a bit of brass off the weight. now segregate the cases into weights groups. I use .2 grains for my 1,000 target loads. I use .5 grains for my long range hunting loads. I use 1 grain for my hunting loads. I also have friends that I routinely trade with for brass of similar weights and brand. we all use the same routine to prep brass. some of my friend love lighter brass, some love the heavier brass.
